A California high school has backed down after parents and students demanded the removal of a controversial photograph, which they called “anti-Christian bigotry,” from one of its courses.
Dos Pueblos High School in Goleta, California, included a photograph taken by Andres Serrano in 1987 in a Theory of Knowledge course that’s required for its International Baccalaureate Diploma program. The prestigious program, aimed at upper-level high school students who want to pursue higher education, is recognized by many universities.
