A viral news story about a Florida principal, reportedly forced to resign over a lesson on Michelangelo’s nude sculpture of the biblical “David,” simply isn’t true, according to a school trustee and the principal.
Despite media reports that have attracted attention around the world, no one associated in the matter called the world-famous, 17-foot statue, or the art lesson featuring it, “pornographic,” said Barney Bishop III, board chairman of the Tallahassee Classical School.
