I once had to alter that painting of the bare-bosomed heroine (on the 100 Franc note) to make it more G-rated for high school test takers.

Ugh.

The $20 bill thing was on my local news this morning. I was still partaking of my morning coffee, so wasn't clearheaded enough to really pay attention, but now I see it must have been a slow news morning. Let's hope they don't repeat it tonight.

Why? What on earth is wrong with a painting showing breasts? Not a flame mind you, but that's a little mind-boggling. Or maybe I don't remember high school that well. But hell, even in junior high (8th grade) we took our first sex ed course, and the teacher on the first day started off by telling us all to go up to the blackboard and write any and all words we knew for 'penis' 'vagina' and 'breasts'.

I learned quite a lot that first day

It was probably more to stay as clear as possible when parents are concerned. Also, it could be something of a distraction during the test, knowing most high schoolers...
