Weirdest case of censorship yet...starring George Washington

[mobo85]

George Washington probably never let his penis hang out in public, but a Georgia school district thinks that the watch fob in Washington's pocket in Emanuel Luetze's famous painting "Washington Crossing The Delaware" could be confused for a penis by some.

So what did they do? Teacher's aides spent two weeks painting over it with a color matching Washington's uniform.

Don't believe me? It's all here:

LOL...I read about that...they didn't paint over it so much for censorship, but just to keep the kids paying attention, because otherwise there'd be nonstop giggling and no work would get done...
I know it would've made MY year in fourth grade!
