TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WFLA) — The line between art and pornography is at the center of an education dispute after a Tallahassee charter school principal resigned, following accusations that middle school students were shown inappropriate adult content. At issue? Students in the school were shown images of a Renaissance period sculpture, the 'David,' leading to complaints that the children were shown pornographic material. Tallahassee Classical School, a private institution focused on 'training the minds and improving the hearts of young people through a content-rich classical education in the liberal arts and sciences, with instruction in the principles of moral character and civic virtue,' gave its principal an ultimatum to quit or be fired after three parents complained, according to reports by the Tallahassee Democrat.
