Nudity Prudity

Posted on October 6, 2006 By Tom No Comments on Nudity Prudity
EdTech, Rants

During my EdTech presentation I fielded several questions about the supposedly topless sunbathers one might find in Google Earth.  My comment at the time was that indeed, I had seen the placemark, and if someone wanted to claim that peachy colored blob was a topless sunbather, then so be it.  I personally think it’s a guy in a Speedo.

After the presentation, I actually had someone ask whether or not we should start blocking Google Earth due to the potential for seeing nudity.  I’m hoping I didn’t scoff too much.  It was just one more example of america’s obsession with, and overreaction to nudity.

I thought back to the art teacher who lost her job because one of her fifth grade students saw nudity in art work on a field trip.   I can’t begin to say how offensive this action against the teacher is.  I’m assuming that the students had their parents sign a permission form in order to go on the trip.  I guess now they will have to include the phrase, "Your children may be exposed to reality."
