It’s an old joke, but do you know the difference between naked and nekkid? Well, naked is no clothes on. Nekkid is no clothes on and up to something.
Now, with that definition in mind, we broach the subject of Plano ISD banning humanities textbooks because they have pictures of nude Greek statues. First, aside from busts (the noggin kind, not the chest kind), are there any other kinds of Greek statues? Second, these are books for high school students. Note to parents: if you have anything more than basic cable at home, your kid has seen naked. No, wait. If it was Cinemax, it was definitely nekkid.
Which brings me to my last point: statues are not animate objects. And these are works of art, to boot. Have you seen these statues? If your kid can get any kind of um, excitement, from a no-eyeballed, half-draped woman with one boob out, well, you have other problems with your kid than his or her anatomy textbook, IJS.
