64. Fifth graders really shouldn't be traumatized by statues of the nude body
It's absurd. If that child was so upset by a nude statue then he or she should be barred from attending future field trips, as you can't hide art from any and all eyes which might be offended. Should the museum rearrange its public collections to satisfy the neurotic hangups of a few? Further, I hope this child's parents never take the kid on a field trip to Europe lest they demand the public fountains and statuary be properly draped first.

Let me guess -- this child's parents aren't offended in the least by the steady diet of blood, gore and violence consumed by their child via TV, movies, video games, and some contemporary music. Better yet, take them to church where they can pray to statues of a bloodied and tortured man in a loincloth and who's nailed to a cross. But damn that Rodin all to hell!

Asinine. Totally asinine.
