Kind of the easy one to mock. We have been here before. John Ashcroft and some statue covering. Madge Flanders one upping Marge Simpson after getting Itchy and Scratchy sanitized and then cancelled and Marge not joinng, so then backing up on her opposition to Itchy and Scratchy. And here, it is important to back up and see precisely what is going on in this case — it is not exactly what gets caricatured even as it is imminently objectionable. Parental permission. Allow the parents a chance to at least explain… Statues have penises. We need to knock some sense in more immature kids, harking the “heh heh… Penis”. Hell — the statues were always idealized forms of humanity — may need a chance to back up to combat bad body image for more sensitive kids.
The National Review article does its best on this score. But we are left with a simple question. You need parental permission on every little thing brought before a class curriculum? I am sure there is something off with Algebra’s over-use of the letter “x”.
