"I want to remind folks that Michaleangelo’s statue of David was commissioned to be installed in a niche in a cathedral.

"However, once Michaelangelo unveiled it, the people who paid for it changed their minds: they decided that it was too magnificent to be displayed up in the cathedral where it would be 80m away from its viewers.
Instead they installed it in Florence’s municipal square: the most visible and public possible place of honor.

"Those Florida parents who objected to their children seeing it would have been considered backwards and ignorant in 1504."
