By Cara TabachnickA Florida charter school principal resigned her position this week after parents complained when sixth-grade students were shown photos of Michelangelo's"David" statue during an art history lesson.
Hope Carrasquilla offered her resignation to the Tallahassee Classical School's board after parents alleged the images of one of the most famous and celebrated statues in the world were"pornographic" and"unsuitable" for the school, according to the Tallahassee Democrat.School board chair Barney Bishop told CBS News Saturday that Carrasquilla was asked to resign over"a number of other issues,'' and the latest incident was the culmination.
He claimed that Carrasquilla knew that if she blamed the Michelangelo photo for her resignation, the"mainstream media" would"twist it" and wouldn't report the truth. A public tuition-free lottery-based charter school, the facility opened its doors in 2020 to the Tallahassee community and offers classical instruction for about 350 students,The school is affiliated with Hillsdale College, a conservative Christian college, and follows its curriculum.
Carrasquilla was the school's third principal since it opened its doors, according to the Tallahassee Democrat. Bishop told CBS News that the first principal became pregnant before she took the role, and the second was an interim principal commuting from Texas.
