It worries me that people are this close minded for one thing. I clearly remember going to the art museum when I was about 5th grade. There is a sculpture in the Denver Art Museum called Annie - a nude woman lying on a pedestal. I was fascinated by her - not because she was nude, but just as a piece of art. The fact that I remember this experience says to me how powerful art can be! I didn't use my artistic side until much later, but I'm positive that<BR/>experience affected me! In POSITIVE ways! I wasn't affected<BR/>negatively because I *gasp* saw a nude sculpture!<BR/><BR/>I feel very bad for this teacher who thought she was doing something<BR/>positive for her students only to be knocked down. It's really sad<BR/>that her school district stood with the parent on this one....<BR/><BR/>Just my opinion and two (or three) cents worth!Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06191587599115454722noreply@blogger.com
