Some parents made a fuss after their children saw a nude sculpture during a school-approved field trip. Now an award-winning teacher has been terminated.
Attorney for Sydney McGee, an art teacher at Fisher Elementary School for 28 years, said not only did the principal urge her to take 89 fifth graders to the Dallas museum she also collected parent permission slips for the students.
Nonetheless, parents were still upset after their children came home and told them about the nude sculptures. However, not all parents felt as if McGee did anything wrong.
One parent said, "Our main concern right now is what's going to happen to the children and what's going to happen to the art program at Fisher Elementary. It is the best art program. That's the reason we moved to this neighborhood. It's because of the teachers. It was a principal-approved trip. What's the big deal?"
The school board recently voted not to renew McGee's contract and placed her on administrative leave until her current contract expires in March.
