Her act of defiance made a profound impact on my colleague. People view the human body in several different ways. Some, like Michelangelo and other artists, view it as an object of beauty. Physicians and scientists view it clinically, as a subject of study. Others, such as distributors of pornography, view it as an object of lust.
Educators fit into the second category.
Teachers of life science view the body as an organism to be studied and understood. If they do their jobs well, their students will adopt their scientific point of view and language. Whether any illustration of the human body or its parts is appropriate is a matter of context and attitude. It seems to me that understanding human anatomy is certainly among them. Members of the Lynchburg School Board who voted to censor the image illustrate the third view of the human body.
