Never seen that one. I remember it being the brunt of a lot of jokes back in the 80s.

I remember a kid at our school was named Dallas.I really never saw it either. Just heard a lot about it lol
And here I thought that it was a documentary about a girl that wanted to be a cheerleader.Yep. Now Debbie does Dallas had intention and lasciviousness. Its definitely pornographic
I think you are looking at days gone bye. The lack, thereof, has simply been unearthed with the last closure due to Covid. IMV. Maybe I am in an enclave of homeschoolers, but it has grown in capacity and in its effectiveness.I don't know how you got that out of the report, but whatever.
The public schools have overall done a really good job in education and also created a much less "in-bred" society and also created a great "mixing bowl" that has been an envy of many other nations. If this wasn't the case, how in the world could the U.S. be the world's #1 economic power that relies on education for its "brain" source? How is it that we've produced so many intellectuals, including many theologians? How is it that a black president could have been elected whereas a couple of centuries ago he would have been a slave, including in your state of Florida?
I put it in "General" - because it isn't, imv, a political issue but an educational issue.I know. But as I said you chose to put the OP in a general thread, not the US politics forum.
Maybe there is a disconnect here. I wasn't talking about politics or even world-wide issues but rather US Educational system.No, we are not. We are in general, not North American politics.
I think statutes define itI'm not about to allow fundamentalists to be the ones to determine what is or isn't "porn". The case of the statue of David shows how that goes.
Hey, you gave the answer. I was just following your fundamentalist viewpoint to its apex.Wow....thanks for taking me back to my younger days, growing up in a fundamentalist Church, where everything was taken hyper-literally and the "church leaders" seemingly had no capacity for abstract thought and creativity.
No, I get you. Make a loose enough definition of sex and this is porn. You and I are have pornographic sex, because we are stimulating each others intellects. Our talk is sex and perverted. Oh, it is so hot. More!
it's a work of art.@Kenny Quantifying it as a numerical value, how much spiritual damage is inflicted upon a child by glimpsing The Statue of David's peepee? Also, by what percentage is it reduced by reaching adulthood?
Of course it is, but some of your cohorts believe it to be pornographic and inappropriate for students.it's a work of art.
Yes, then there are some in your camp that think porn is art too.Of course it is, but some of your cohorts believe it to be pornographic and inappropriate for students.

Or more likely you do not understand either. The ultimate border between porn and art can be hard to draw. That is one of the problems with writing legislation about it. A sense for art is needed to make half decent porn. It is the aim of the two that is used to separate them. Art appeals to more than just the erotic. Where porn's aim is to appeal mainly to the erotic. It is possible that the man or woman that reacted so negatively to that statue were only drawn to its erotic image. For them it could have been porn. But most people see far more than just a piece of erotica. Ironically it tells us that if anyone's mind was In the Gutter, it was the minds of those that objected to it.Yes, then there are some in your camp that think porn is art too.
ok?Yeah, and we are still in general debates.
You are doing politics/morality about sex and that is not unique to the USA and as we are in general debates, you can't fence the debate in to be about the USA.
ok?Yes, and from that doesn't follow that your links about porn in education follow that guide.
So you do the work and connect your other links to that guide.
I think I know the difference- the people who had a problem with the statue, have a problem.Or more likely you do not understand either. The ultimate border between porn and art can be hard to draw.

The statue is pretty clear. But there is porn that is not. Most porn is rather obviously porn. But there are some works that sit on that border.I think I know the difference- the people who had a problem with the statue, have a problem.
Which is why I responded with a post comparing the American educational situation (in your view) with the English. You decided to put this thread in "General" rather than a geographically specific one, not me. Want to get off this roundabout?I put it in "General" - because it isn't, imv, a political issue but an educational issue.
