One parent complained that the material was pornographic and two others stated that they wanted to know about the class before it was taught.

A school principal in the United States was forced to resign after a parent complained that sixth-grade students were exposed to pornography during a lesson on Renaissance art which included Michelangelo's "David" sculpture. The iconic statue, which depicts an entirely naked biblical figure David, is one of the most famous in Western history. However, according to the BBC, one parent complained that the material was pornographic and two others stated that they wanted to know about the class before it was taught. 

The complaints ultimately led to Principal Hope Carrasquilla of the Tallahassee Classical School, Florida, resigning. As per the outlet, she said she was given an ultimatum by the school board to either step down or be fired. Ms Carrasquilla also stated that she did not know the reason she was asked to resign, but believed it was related to the complaints over the lesson. 

"My board chair has not been happy with me," Ms Carrasquilla told CNN, adding that she did not always follow every policy and procedure. 

Separately, the chair of the school's board, Barney Bishop III, agreed with Ms Carrasquilla's assessment and said that over time it had become evident the school needed to go in a different direction and with different leadership.
