College ends partnership with school over the David issue
A Michigan college has ended its partnership with a Florida charter school whose principal was forced to resign after a parent complained sixth graders were exposed to pornography during a lesson on Renaissance art that included Michelangelo’s David sculpture. A Hillsdale College spokesperson said Tallahassee Classical School no longer is affiliated with the small, Christian classical liberal arts college in southern Michigan, MLive.com reported Thursday. “This drama around teaching Michelangelo’s ‘David’ sculpture, one of the most important works of art in existence, has become a distraction from, and a parody of, the actual aims of classical education,” spokesperson Emily Stack Davis wrote in a statement.

Probe: Virginia school district did not deliberately withhold award notices
An external investigation found that Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) did not deliberately delay notifying students of their National Merit recognitions, the school district announced this week. The county’s Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJHSST) — regarded as one of America’s top high schools — has been embroiled in controversy since late December after its administrators were accused of concealing certifications of National Merit from “Commended Students” in order to spare the feelings of those who were not recognized. Details of the allegation emerged in a City Journal piece by author and journalist Asra Q. Nomani, whose own son had not been notified of being a Commended Student on time for college applications.

North Dakota aims at school curriculum to deter abortions
The 37-9 vote comes on the heels of the North Dakota Supreme Court's ruling this month that a state abortion ban will remain blocked while a lawsuit over its constitutionality proceeds. “If young people see the beauty of these beginnings, then hopefully they’ll think twice before running to the abortion clinic," Sen. Janne Myrdal, a Republican of Edinburg who helped introduce the bill, said in an interview with The Associated Press. The bill would mandate schools to show middle and high school students a high-definition ultrasound video, at least three minutes long, on the development of the brain, heart and other vital organs in early fetal development — along with a high-quality animation of the fertilization and human development process inside the uterus, “noting significant markers in cell growth and organ development for every week of pregnancy.”
