Charlie Sykes takes a look at the rebellion against the profound wokeness that was the Renaissance in Ron DeSantisstan:
According to the Tallahassee school, some of the children were “upset,” which seems unlikely. What actually happened is that three (3) parents, who were evidently unacquainted with depictions of genitalia or classical art, but ever vigilant to the threat of wokeness and pornography, decided to be offended. So the principal is out, and the tender eyes of the young classicists are protected from the corrupting influences of Renaissance art.“We’re not going to show the full statue of David to kindergartners,” the school board chairman told Slate. “We’re not going to show him to second graders. Showing the entire statue of David is appropriate at some age.
[Ed note: It was actually shown to sixth graders.]
We’re going to figure out when that is.”
Ahhhhhhhh….This — in all of its effulgent glory — is actually an episode from “The Simpsons” come to life: In the cartoon version, Michelangelo’s David is sent around on a tour of the US, with an expected stop in Springfield, which triggers members of SNUH [Springfieldians for Nonviolence, Understanding, and Helping]. They urge Marge to protest the famed sculpture, claiming it’s offensive and inappropriate. However, Marge, being an artist herself, insists it’s a masterpiece.
But, the Florida story is even better, because this episode of pecksniffery and philistinism is brought to you by the inaptly named “Tallahassee Classical School,” which claims that it is committed to “training the minds and improving the hearts of young people through a content-rich classical education in the liberal arts and sciences, with instruction in the principles of moral character and civic virtue.” One suspects that many of these words do not mean what the Florida folks seem to think they mean. The school’s website defines “classical education,” as “the pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty.”

They've been over this before. The annoying bullshit that was coming out of Jacob's mouth, so once again, Jay decided violence was the answer to try to get him to shut up. And Jacob was retaliating.
Jay could handle it. He's been in a gazillion fights, being stabbed, again, was nothing.
But when the knife came into contact with him, that wasn't the only thing that happened. Jacob's lips came into contact with Jay's. "Mm???" he sounded, since he couldn't talk, confused.

image descriptions on the images thru tumblr, but also below:
[img 1:
The trio of A Link to the Past Zelda, Link, and a baby elephant are walking down a dirt path between carnival canvas tents.
Legend (Linked Universe) wearing his green tunic and blue had carrying a basket of green and red apples. His hair is blond with a touch of pink at the ends and he has silver stability-rings on the joints of his index and pinky fingers. With his left hand, he is holding his hat tight to his head, and his right is holding the bushel of apples. He is leading in the trio.
The baby elephant has hold of Link's hat and is tugging Link back. Little tusks frame the smile-like expression, and the elephant is standing sturdy and leaning back into the tug.
Zelda brings up the rear of the three of them in her blue-and-white dress. She is laughing and carrying a bundle of straw under her left arm.
In the background Ravio (a combination of the ALttP and LU designs) can be seen peeking around a tree at the group saying "Cute, but- scary…"
The forest is a smattering of shades of green with the yellow-and-purple canvas tents and unpainted, brown wooden barrels strewn around. There is a purple backpack at the base of the tree Ravio is sheltering behind.]
