Italy curator slams 'ignorance' in Michelangelo row

The head of the Italian museum housing Michelangelo's David criticized Monday "twisted minds" who equated nudity with pornography, after a US teacher was forced out for showing pupils the statue.
Cecilie Hollberg, director of the Accademia in Florence, said the row showed a "huge ignorance" about art history, and was the product of "misplaced puritanism".
A school principal in Tallahassee, Florida, was forced to resign last week following complaints that her class of 11 and 12-year-olds was shown a picture of the naked statue of David.
One insanely delusional parent reportedly said the image was pornographic.
