Don’t Undress With Texas
Posted on | September 27, 2006
The Lone Star State is once again safe from the evils of nekkidness. Denver’s Channel 7 tells us of a Texas art teacher who has just been fired:
FRISCO, Texas — An award-winning Texas art teacher who was reprimanded after one of her fifth-grade students saw a nude sculpture during a trip to a museum has lost her job….
The Fisher Elementary School art teacher came under fire last April when she took 89 fifth-graders on a field trip to the Dallas Museum of Art. Parents raised concerns over the field trip after their children reported seeing a nude sculpture at the art museum.
The parents had signed permission slips allowing their children to take part in the field trip. McGee’s lawyer said the principal at Fisher Elementary School admonished her after a parent complained that a student had seen nude art.
Well, the children may not learn the meaning of the word “permission” from this episode, but they will at least have been taught that the human body is dirty.
Note that the school’s “Ten Everyday Essentials” say little or nothing about education. Item number ten does say, with a straight face, “Accept that making mistakes is a part of the process. Learn from them and move on.”
