From the AP: "Nude Complaints", Artwork That Speaks

What's worse than this lame yet eye-catching headline from the AP? The lead paragraph that goes with it--and the red-state rubes who fired a teacher who dared to take the kids to an actual museum!:

Teacher, School Spar After Nude Complaints On Field Trip

FRISCO, Texas -- Like the artwork that teacher Sydney McGee insists she was fired for letting her students study, her former school says there's more to her dismissal than first glimpse.

McGee, who taught elementary school in this sprawling and retail-bloated Dallas suburb, has drawn national sympathy and disbelief since claiming she was let go last month because a parent complained that their child saw a nude piece during a field trip to the Dallas Museum of Art.

Eighty-nine of McGee's fifth-graders toured the museum during the April trip, which McGee concedes likely included nudes but was arranged as a chance to see Picassos and Piet Mondrians.
