Art museums are like that. I would have thought the parents were aware of that when they signed the permission slips.

I have a mental image of this goober assuming that the museum would be dedicated to the "velvet Elvis" and "canine poker" schools of art.

I concur with previous posters who suspect there's more going on here than we're reading in the article.

Hawaii Channel.com, which was one of several news outlets which ran this story, had a reader survey which showed 98% of the people responding to the poll said NO, they wouldn't have a problem with kids seeing nude sculpture. It seems to me that the response wouldn't be much different anywhere in the country; and the 2% who, for whatever reason (Muslim? Amish?) say YES we have a problem with it, probably wouldn't have signed a permission slip in the first place.

Doesn't prove anything, but I think there's something fishy about this story.

I love it! That's a hillarous image. "You may be a redneck if...you get your school's art teacher fired for showing your kid marble nudes in a museum."
