Florida principal forced to resign after parent complaints views Michelangelo's David in Italy

A former Florida school principal who was forced to resign after students were shown an image of Michelangelo's iconic statue of a nude David viewed the masterpiece in person on Friday in Florence.

Cecilie Hollberg, who directs the Accademia Gallery in Florence, where the David is the star attraction, said that Hope Carrasquilla, her husband and two children, came straight to the museum right after they arrived in the city.

Carrasquilla stepped down as principal of Tallahassee Classical school in the Florida city last month after one parent claimed the towering sculpture was pornographic. Other parents complained they weren't notified in advance that their children would be shown the nude figure during a lesson featuring the Renaissance.
