It may be a European stereotype to say this, but I perpetually find it odd that Americans are so afraid of naked (female) bodies and, on entertainment at least, so blasé about violence. In Denmark, Aarhus science museum (a very kid friendly place) has an exhibit all about aging, featuring life size large naked photos of about ten people of all ages showing what changes throughout life.
I think I would have banned that particular seal for being so damned ugly. They had earlier ones that weren't <i>that</i> bad.<p>Actually an awful lot of official seals are hideous designs. You'd think they'd try to do better than that.
I hope they will never see E. Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People (<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Leading_the_People" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Leading_the_People</a>).<p>Marianne has TWO naked breasts with BOTH nipples visible. And she is not shaved.<p>When I was a teenager in the 80's in France, we had on Sunday morning on TV a fitness show (exercises to follow at home). The end featured the two leading ladies taking a shower in full view. We were all very much into fitness then.
They didn't ban it. They removed it from their curriculum. They felt that state policy demanded it. There have been multiple versions of the seal and many of them do not depict the character with an exposed breast.
Wait until they see what infant children do when they see naked female breasts.<p>The doublethink in believing that breasts are harmful to children is really, really strong.
Also a MAGA state heavily likely to be deeply offended by "Sic Semper Tyrannis" on the flag. How dare anyone question their king?!<p><a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2025/04/18/texas-federal-judge-dares-maga-republican-congressman-to-impeach-him/" rel="nofollow">https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2025/04/18/texas-fe...</a>
