Really, then we disagree. I think that those sculptures are must see for anyone traveling through that part of New Mexico.
He or she and I were talking about children watching people fuck not museums.
What’s wrong with that statue?
LOL. You put a lot of store in silly pictures. 
Art is pretty fucking irrelevant. Math, Science, Reading Crompehension, and Composition is where it’s at.
goes back, rereads posts
Ah, indeed.
Though this was the actual quote
You’d have to check back with betenior to see if “seeing them having sex” could equal “Grossly exposed”.
And that statement explains everything we need to know about you…Thanks…
Without art, there’s no point to math, science, reading comprehension, or composition. Art is what defines the human condition. Anyone who say that are is “irrelevant” is not, in my opinion, fully human.
Why? Half of them have one.
I think that any traumatization from either event would be pretty non-existant. But if it was continuous habitual witnessing of sex by a young minor child, this would have have a negative emotional and psycological affect. Whereas continuous exposure to what actually offends betenior’s sensibilities, a bullfight, which is art, would not.
Eggs Ackley.
only half of the Hip doper children…children in the real world dont have one until their parents say they do.
It’s (at least looks like) got nipples. In any case, she’s clearly not wearing a shirt.
I told you, I was trying to scan 30 thumbnails at a time looking for something. How about this one?
So it teen pregnancy, stds, poor educational stats, abstinence only education that’s a problem, but lack of enough art classes and fifth grade field trips. Okey doke. :dubious:
Ok…What?
Does anyone have a link to the painting? I can’t imagine it’s pornographic if it’s in a museum.
I thought they had a lot of cattle ranches and horses and things in Texas. Don’t kids have pets?
At what age are kids in Texas allowed to know they have genitalia?
No, it’s ignorance, narrow mindedness, and provincialism that’s the problem. A vigorous artistic education program is a sign of a robust education system. Simply throwing a bunch of art at ten year olds won’t fix everything, but so long as idiots like the ones complaining in the OP are heeded by the schools, so long as art budgets continue to be slashed to help swell the coffers of the football programs, we’ll continue to know that there’s something deeply wrong with education in Texas.
BTW is there any art that is not appropriate for young minor children, like those in fifth grade? These Asian statues are tame shit. Personally, I see nothing wrong with exposure to them as a broad based art museum visit. It shouldn’t be solely this type of sculptures of course. But there is harder shit out there that is still widely considered to be art.
Dear Parents:
Today the 5th grade class is going on a field trip tp the art museum. Then children may be exposed to the following: statues and paintings of people without clothes on, art depicting a semi-nude man being nailed to a piece of wood, silk screen prints of soup cans that may contain trans fats, paintings showing the creation of the earth in direct contradiction to scientific evidence, paintings by a one eared man who may have been schizophrenic, art by a number of know homosexuals, and a painting of a man standing up in a boat in violation of coast guard standards. On the way to the museum the bus may pass billboards with women wearing lingerie, advertisements for alcohol, or movies that have not been approved by the Catholic church.
I took the ACT. I don’t recall any art. What part of the SAT is art? And the GRE?
So, you think one moron parent should prevent 29 or 30 other kids from getting exposure to art? As far as I can tell none of the others have objected.
No trip my kids ever went on, to anywhere, did not involve a permission slip. You’ve not addressed the responsibility of the parents who let the kids go, and then complained.
I don’t know what you mean by accident. No one claims the teacher took them there to show them nudes. I assume the teacher, who had been teaching art for a long time, knew what was in the museum, so the presence of nudes was not an accident.
And finally, we took our girls to the Louvre when the youngest was in third grade. We didn’t avoid any parts, not that we could have. Are you calling us immoral?
