"an abstract nude sculpture"?

----

School officials have not named the child who complained or any particular
artwork at issue, although Ms. McGee said her puzzlement was compounded
when Ms. Lawson referred at times to "an abstract nude
sculpture."

Another parent, Maijken Kozcara, said Ms. McGee had taught her children effectively.

"I thought she was the greatest," Ms. Kozcara said. But
"knowing Texas, the way things work here" she said of the
teacher's suspension, "I wasn't really amazed. I was like, 'Yeah,
right.' "
