Welcome to the Bullwork Podcast. I'm Charlie Sikes. It is Friday, which means that I am joined by Tim Miller. Tim, how are you?

You know, I couldn't be better, Charlie. I'm feeling good this morning. Life is... I guess I could be better. Donald Trump could be in jail.

Yeah, I was probably not going to happen. But I'm just pretty good. All things considered. How about you?

I'm glad to hear this. We have so much to talk about. We have the Epic TikTok hearing yesterday. We have Ron DeSantis' various shuffles. We have Donald Trump.

And I'm sorry to actually use this phrase melting down because he's been melted for so long. But these absolutely bizarre tweets talking about death and destruction and posting himself with baseball bats.

But could we start with something else because I'm sorry. I need to ease my way into that even though it's the weekend. I am obsessed with the Florida story about statues without pants.

Mmm. It is so delicious. Can I talk about it for a few minutes?

Yeah, let's do it.

I mean, this is actually not a parody. I'm not making this up. There's this Tallahassee school, which has basically fired its principal.

It's interesting. It's called Tallahassee Classical School. It is devoted to classical education, the liberal arts, etc.

And basically a Candid's Principle after there was a sixth grade art history lesson showing the students a picture of Michelangelo's David.

Not kidding here. Okay. So apparently three parents complained. One of them thought it was pornographic because I don't know how many

moralist and there's no about Michelangelo's David. He can't see his junk. It's there. So the school saying that these children were upset, which seems highly unbalanced.

It's stone just by the head's tone. You can see his stone junk, I guess, but technically, if you're really not familiar with it, it's a stone sculpture.

So, you know, it's not like a human flasad penis that you're looking at.

No, I think most of our listeners didn't know that it's made out of marble, right? I mean, it's just...

But anyway, this whole notion, the children were upset. Yeah, right. The people who would say that six graders were upset about this,

have never hung around with six graders. What actually happened was you had the three parents who apparently were unacquainted with what goes on in classical art.

Have never seen marble depictions of genitalia before, but were really, really, really hyped up to look for in kind of

wokeness or pornography. So this principle is out. The school board chairman, the chief idiot, Crat down there, tells

slate, we're not going to show the full statue of David to kindergarteners. We're not going to show him to second graders.
