The Sahara of the Bozart

In Frisco, a booming northern suburb of Dallas, a fifth-grade public school art teacher has been suspended from her job. Why? For taking her students on a field trip to the Dallas Museum of Art. There they were reportedly exposed to statues of naked people. And paintings involving the unclothed, without benefit of fig leaf or loin cloth. Some parents complained, and the oh-so-courageous principal suspended the teacher.

Just so you know, Frisco's not Hickburg. It's one of the most prosperous suburban towns in America. Unbelievable.
