I used to pull my hair out just listening to some of the phone conversations my mother had with parents and administrators about things like discussion of Christian analogies in The Lord of the Flies and whether or not my family worshipped Satan all the time, or only occasionally. It ain't easy.
That said, I'd probably still let them see it if I were the teacher, especially as it's not really that pronounced. It's not the visual counterpart of The Vagina Monologues or anything.

Very well said! As the son of two teachers, I learned quite a bit about various parent opinions, teaching philosophies, and the school system.
Things such as this are invariably more complex than can be expressed by most journalists.
With that said, I find this ridiculous.
