Why Kids Grow Up Screwed Up

The disciplining of a local school teacher has highlighted a perverse problem in our society that affects the minds of virtually every child in America. Do you know why people have such demented attitudes about sex and nudity? It's because they are conditioned to be that way by adults throughout their formative childhood years.

Our local NBC affiliate has been covering the story about a Frisco elementary school teacher who apparently got in trouble with her school board officials for taking her students to the Dallas Museum of Art last April where they saw a nude statue. I say "apparently" because the school board has indicated that their decision to suspend the teacher (with pay) is based on performance issues that they are not allowed to reveal to the public - not just a field trip to the museum. You can read about it here, here, and here.

It is, however, the parents' complaints about the nude statue that their little darlings saw at the museum that gets most of the news coverage (sensationalising the news yields better ratings). Just what the parents were complaining about isn't really clear to me, but I assume (dangerous, I know) that it is our infernal prudishness that has caused all the wailing and knashing of teeth.

I'll let the school board decide personnel issues, but someone should tell those parents who were complaining about the nude statue to just STFU and stop corrupting their childrens' minds.
