You can search the Thesaurus for a synonym for “moron” but you’ll never find a word adequate to describe Barney Bishop III, chairman of the Tallahassee Classical School in Florida. 

 

This week, Mr. Bishop forced the principal of the Classical School to resign because she failed to block the art teacher from showing a picture of Michelangelo’s David to a 6th grade class. 
The school promises “a content-rich classical education in the liberal arts,” in order to shape a “vibrant and enobling” culture for students, so you can understand why Michelangelo’s statue would have no place in their art curriculum.  

Mr. Bishop explained that parents were quite upset by the school’s slip up: 

Three parents objected. Two objected simply because they weren’t told in advance. One objected because the teacher said “nonpornography”…. [T]hat word is inappropriate…. you don’t need to be saying that word in a classroom in Florida!

In a lengthy interview, Mr. Bishop explained the philosophy of his school: 

Parents, after they saw all the crap that’s being taught in public schools during COVID, decided of their own that they didn’t want their children to be taught that. Here we teach… a traditional, Western civilization, liberal classical education…. We don’t have safe spaces for kids so they won’t be offended by a Halloween costume.

Sixth grade students at Tallahassee Classical School will not be protected from offensive Halloween costumes but they will have a “safe space” to protect from the knowledge that males have a penis.  There is no telling how many students have already been traumatized by this discovery.
