The former principal of Tallahassee Classical School in Florida, Hope Carrasquilla, resigned after a lesson on Michelangelo's statue of David was given to sixth graders without notifying parents, according to the school board's chairman, Barney Bishop III. This, along with “other issues” led to her resignation, Bishop said, clarifying that Carrasquilla was not let go because of the lesson in question. Bishop stated that the school board had not followed procedure for notifying parents of the upcoming lesson, and that the school had no intention of banning the statue. Last year, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed the Parental Rights in Education bill which states that “the parent of each public school student has the right to receive effective communication from the school principal as to the manner in which instructional materials are used to implement the school's curricular objectives". 

As a public charter school, Bishop explained that “parents decide what their children get to learn” and that the school was in agreement with the Governor’s education policies. The incident has sparked a debate about the censorship of art in schools and parental rights.
