Georgia School District "Touches Up" Famous George
Washington Painting: What’s Next, The Washington
Monument?
In response to a reported "touch up" by a Georgia school district to
Emanuel Leutze’s famous painting Washington Crossing the Delaware in fifth
grade history textbooks, People For the American Way
Foundation suggested specific disciplinary action for school officials.
Muscogee County school district officials, worried that Washington’s watch,
lying across his right thigh, might look to some fifth grader like the
general’s genitalia, used paint brushes to touch up the page in over 2,300
books.
"Kids are disciplined for defacing school textbooks, so let’s make the
punishment fit the school officials’ crime," said Carole Shields, People For
the American Way Foundation president. "The superintendent should be kept after
school to write on the blackboard 100 times: I WILL NOT DEFACE PUBLIC
PROPERTY, I WILL NOT DEFACE PUBLIC PROPERTY."
According to yesterday’s Atlanta Journal Constitution, teacher aides
spent nearly two weeks painting over the offending watch because of how fifth
grade students might react.
"While Kansas is censoring evolution out of the state’s science
standards, this Georgia school district is going for a new low in censorship by
taking out what isn’t there just in case someone might imagine it is. By this
standard, the school district could end up with nothing left to teach," said
Shields.
School officials in some Cobb County schools went one step further in
their censorship of the same painting. They ripped the page right out of the
textbooks.

Stupid fundies. They see 'Mary' in burritos and oil slicks. Do they see
penises on blank pieces of cardboard?

Just for fun I looked up our fifth grade text for the picture. They must
really feel these kids are LOOKING for a penis because, unless you look REALLY
close, you don't even notice the watch at first, and then it doesn't look like
a penis to anyone whose seen one.
Some people. GEESH!!!!!!!!!!!

No, if you look at things using FundyVisionŽ the "dirty" parts of the body
are seen as pixilated blurs.

Not to mention that when the kids notice the censorship, they'll probably think
that Washington crossed the Delaware with his hooha flapping in the breeze.

Just took a look myself. There's no penis there. Hell, I can barely see
the
watch, and it don't look like a penis. This is similar to the xian fable
about
Disney's "The Little Mermaid" and the seen where the priest gets an erection
during the wedding ceremony. These nutbars are so obsessed with sex,
the see penises everywhere. Heh! I wonder if they can eat a hotdog without
getting aroused.

I don't know about that scene but my parents have a copy of the original cover
work for the video. You can pretty clearly see a penis there. It's pretty
funny. Those covers are a collectors item now. You can't buy them anymore.

But of course they do. If i repressed my sexuality the way these
morons do, denied even having a sexuality, i'm sure i'd be seeing
hair pies all over the place. I'd really like to give a Rorscach
inkblot test to some of these oddballs, and see if Freud was right
about that.

50's. They found explicitly sexual pictures in almost all of the horror
comics of the day.
I was at the interested but not really old enough stage. It wasn't so bad
that I didn't see the filth when I read them the first time. Pity poor me
when, even with the help of the book, I still just saw shadows and dark
areas.
Wait'll they find out what happens when you put a CD in backwards and play
that!
