The dumbing down of America continues......
FRISCO, Tex., Sept. 28 -- "Keep the `Art' in `Smart' and `Heart,' " Sydney McGee had posted on her Web site at Wilma Fisher Elementary School in this moneyed boomtown that is gobbling up the farm fields north of Dallas.
But Ms. McGee, 51, a popular art teacher with 28 years in the classroom, is out of a job after leading her fifth-grade classes last April through the Dallas Museum of Art. One of her students saw nude art in the museum, and after the child's parent complained, the teacher was suspended.
More on the flip....

Are people in this country now so culturally illiterate that it is NOT a foregone conclusion that one is likely to encounter nudity at an art museum???
As a child growing up in Tulsa, Oklahoma during the 1960s, I was exposed to nudity in art during school field trips to the Philbrook Art Museum, I was probably younger than a fifth grader, and now teachers are getting FIRED for this???
Its things like this that really have me fearing for the future of our country, and that is on top of everything else that is going on.
