Teacher fired after field trip

FRISCO - School board members have voted not to renew the contract of a
veteran art teacher who was reprimanded after one of her fifth-grade
students saw a nude sculpture during a school trip to a museum.
Sydney McGee has been on paid administrative leave from Fisher Elementary
School since Friday, said her attorney, Rogge Dunn.
McGee's contract runs through the end of the school year, and it was unclear
whether she would remain on leave until then. Her attorney said he would
wait for written confirmation and clarification from the school district to
decide how to proceed.
He said McGee, a 28-year veteran teacher, was upset about the Monday
decision.
"If they had good reason to fire her, they would have, but they don't," Dunn
said. "It's mind-boggling."
Board members declined to take questions after their closed meeting, and a
message left with the Frisco Independent School District wasn't immediately
returned.
McGee has said her troubles started after taking 89 students on a school
field trip to the Dallas Museum of Art in April.
The principal at Fisher elementary, Nancy Lawson, later admonished McGee
about the trip, telling her a parent complained about a student seeing nude
art, said Dunn, a Dallas labor lawyer.
School officials didn't reveal which parent made the complaint.
McGee also said it was the principal who urged her to take the students to
the museum, Dunn said.
District officials have said the museum field trip didn't spark reprimands
of the teacher. They have repeatedly pointed to other performance issues.
The district rejected McGee's request in August to transfer to another
Frisco school. They said they didn't want to give her a chance to move
elsewhere without addressing other issues, including lesson-plan
preparation.

Why am I not surprised. Frisco's not far from Pilot Point and look
what they did:

I live in Dallas, thankfully. Obviously the people north of here can't
stand the boobs. I think I'll be sure to go to the museum this week.
I'm a member so I must be really wicked. ;^)

Pukeworthy, indeed.
I mean, she could have smile because she just had her third
orgasm in a row?

Didn't The Simpsons already do this?

Maybe she'd just finished smothering it with a pillow. That would explain
the smile much more.

Really. In those days, pregnancy was a quasi-death sentence.

You folks all have the wrong angle on this. What it requires is a
bank-shot
off the back wall. Any situation, place, or event that might involve
bare tits
should ban children.
Museum with a nude sculpture? No sprogs. Indeed, nobody under 18,
strictly enforced. Not allowed in the front door.
Sea shore resort where women wear bikinis and might accidentally
dangle a nipple? No sprogs allowed.
Place where women are allowed to breast feed? Nobody under the
age of 18, period. Even the expected-to-be-fed sprog should not be
allowed to glimpse a nipple or risk being scarred for life.
Restaraunt where waitresses wear as little as they dare in order
to increase tips? NO sprogs. So, all you need to do to get a
sprog free dinner is go someplace where the wait staff don't
put on parkas.
That's the correct angle. It does not matter which way it breaks,
it would be an improvement.

But don't forget that public breast-feeding is beautiful! See, it's only
the non-utilitarian boob, the play boob, the sexual boob that needs banned.

There is a small clockwork vibrator in the bottom right hand corner of
one of Leonardo's sketches. Methinks she had just given it a test
drive?

That's overstating it a bit. Yes, maternal mortality rates were higher in
pre-antisepsis times, but most pregnant women could expect to survive. Of
course, childbirth was a sentence of prolonged (usually lifelong)
servitude, so I'm sure that a lot of women did use that pillow or the
nearest river to escape.

Well, if you factor in the multiple unpreventable pregnancies, the odds
are against women. Just like Third World countries now, women have a
shorter life only in those places with poor maternal outcomes.
But you're right, it's overstated.

Wasn't that the episode when a traveling version of "David" made the
rounds to Springfield?
A little OT: And here I am in Buffalo, the only place in North America
where a first-generation copy of David can be found, one of four ever made.

I usually try not to get too excited about things like this. The
newspaper
often does not tell the entire story. It's possible that the only thing
"wrong"
this teacher did was that one incident. (What people expected at an
art museum I don't quite know.) But it's also possible (as the snipped
part of the article said) there were other issues.
Heh heh. I still recall a highschool trip to the Art Gallery of
Ontario.
There was a series of Japanese paintings. Involved these couples
in full kimonos, lots of flowers and rock gardens and things in
the background. And the kimonos open at strategic location to
reveal full frontal explicit sexual intercourse. The teacher leading
the outing walked through that gallery very fast. Heh heh.

There were several responses on our Dallas news
station in support of the teacher.
One viewer said that the "hicks" in Frisco have
no culture.
Another one said that you can expect to see nude
things in art museums.
The last one said they didn't see what the breeders
were complaining about because their kids are very
likely seeing alot more no-no's at home than what
they saw at the museum.

I lived near Philly when I was a young sprog. We would go to the
Philadelphia Art Museum all the time (made more famous in the first
Rocky movie). This thread brought up a memory of mammaries, I'll tell
ya! It was ONE FREAKY and very old painting. I believe it was on a
piece of furniture or something. I was probably nine and I was the
only one who saw it. Since I'm a prude at heart, I didn't tell anyone.
Did this scar me for life? Er, no.

Which would have also embarassed the likes of Roger Glover and even
Peter DeRose, who wrote the original song of the same name.
