A Florida charter school principal resigned last week after complaints about a Renaissance art lesson that she said at least one parent called “pornographic.”
Hope Carrasquilla left the Tallahassee Classical School on Monday following a school board ultimatum that she leave on her own or be fired, according to the Tallahassee Democrat.
One of the parents complained that the lesson was pornographic, Ms. Carrasquilla told the newspaper. The other two parents said they wished they were notified about the lesson beforehand. Ms. Carrasquilla said that a letter about the art lesson should have been sent to parents prior to instruction, but communication lapses between herself and other administrators prevented that from happening.
School board chair Barney Bishop confirmed to the newspaper that Ms. Carrasquilla was given an ultimatum, but didn’t specify the reason behind it at the advice of the school’s lawyer.
