ROME (AP) — The Florence museum housing Michelangelo’s Renaissance masterpiece the “David” invited parents and students from a Florida charter school to visit after complaints about a lesson featuring the statue forced the principal to resign.Florence Mayor Dario Nardella also tweeted an invitation for the principal to visit so he can personally honor her. Confusing art with pornography was “ridiculous,” Nardella said. The incredulous Italian response highlights how the U.S. culture wars are often perceived in Europe, where despite a rise in right-wing sentiment and governance, the Renaissance and its masterpieces, even its naked ones, are generally free of controversy.But the board of the Tallahassee Classical School pressured Principal Hope Carrasquilla to resign last week after an image of the “David” was show to a sixth-grade art class.

Among them was AFDN559. Forensic analysts would later tie the Glock to three shootings, including an attack in August that wounded four youths and another that wounded a 17-year-old girl in September.In a country awash with guns, with more firearms than people, the parked car — or in many cases, the parked pickup truck — has become a new flashpoint in the debates over how and whether to regulate gun safety.There is little question about the scope of the problem.

But as far as the Transportation Security Administration is concerned, all of them are liquids — and the news is driving at least a few people nuts.Following a recently-viral social media post in which the TSA confirmed its stance on peanut butter, the internet is once again taking sides to defend, or argue, their own positions on the subject. The top barbecue joint in every state, according to Yelp Despite the debate, the TSA continues to remain firm in its opinion that the agency "considers your PB a liquid."They categorize it as such, according to the TSA, because like a liquid, peanut butter "has no definite shape and takes a shape dictated by its container." The TSA has also previously pointed to its "general definition" for the liquid rule, which suggests that if a passenger can "spill it, spread it, spray it, pump it or pour it, then the carry-on quantit...SF Giants update: Piscotty talks spring, catching spots finalized, Cobb’s status, and two outfielders to start year on IL
