last week a librarian where i teach took a book on michelangelo
off the shelf, because it contained nudity (sistine chapel murals)
when we tried to explain the need and value of such a book, she
said her "christian values" forbade such pictures. we told her
that these paintings are on public display in a catholic church,
but she didn't seem to care about anything but her "bible thumping
attitude".... pea brained in the mid-west.
Any suggestions from you all out there ???
