Remembering Auguste Rodin, the French sculptor and artistic innovator

From 1880 to the early years of the 20th century, Rodin created some of his most famous works: "The Kiss" (which depicts a scene from "The Inferno"), "The Burghers of Calais," "The Gates of Hell," and "The Thinker," which was first exhibited in 1904. Initially, "The Thinker" was placed in front of the Pantheon, an old church in the French Quarter of Paris; in the 1920s, it was moved to the newly-established Musée Rodin.

Rodin died in 1917, at the age of 77, in Meudon, a suburb of Paris. But his legacy lives on today.

Again, from the Website of the Rodin Museum: "The hallmarks of Rodin's style – his affinity for the partial figure, his focus on formal qualities and relationships rather than on narrative structure, and his desire to retain the marks of the sculptural process on his finished works – were revolutionary in his time. The evocative intensity of his works were elaborated on by countless artists who followed him."

From: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.n...82076155_n.png I enjoyed this comment so much that I just had to share it with you all. It's from our previous link about authorities in Texas banning a play about male penguins hatching an egg and bringing it up. I just thought it so perfectly summed up the silliness of our opposition.

Thank you for posting this. The Rodin Sculpture Garden @ Cantor Arts Center, Stanford University is one of my favorite places in CA to go for a walk. The Gates of Hell, I believe a replica, sits at the far end of the garden.
Mind blowing, really.

Pubic hair is not just a biological accident that forces us to the waxing salon. It serves three critical functions. First, it protects the delicate vagina. Second, it serves as a reproductive billboard to alert potential mates that you are biologically (if not emotionally) prepared to procreate. And last, it's a pheromone carpet and traps the scents that lead potential mates to the promised land. So you might think twice before you shave it all off. It's there for a reason. Embrace it.

Teacher Accused of Turning Student Into a Lesbian
A teacher retaliates after her school district investigated her for turning a student into a lesbian, as charged by the student's parents.

A Florida high school teacher is fighting her school district over its poor handling of a parent's accusation that she turned his daughter into a lesbian.

The Deerfield Beach High School student's stepfather realized that his stepdaughter was a lesbian through her Twitter feed. He resorted to sending her inflammatory messages on Twitter, which the teacher, Juliet Hibbs, eventually discovered.

"As each message came, she got smaller," Hibbs told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "I watched her get destroyed."

As a result, Hibbs reported the stepfather's harassment as child abuse and cyberbullying. Since the young woman was 18, an abuse counselor also told her that she was not required to live at home anymore. She never returned home, according to the article. This prompted the young woman's parents to request an investigation from the school board. Hibbs was investigated for misconduct after the parents alleged to principal John Marlow that she turned their daughter into a lesbian.

The investigation was later dropped, but Hibbs says her 10-year career has been ruined because of the incident. Hibbs, who is straight, said she was being bullied out of her job because of her outspokenness on other subjects.

"Before Deefield, I had an impeccable record," she told the Sun-Sentinel. Now she is on medical leave, dealing with the trauma of the incident.

Hibbs has filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission against the school district, Marlow, and the Deerfield Beach High School assistant principal.

Hibbs is also determined to run for a seat on the local school board.

"I reported properly and I was charged with professional misconduct for reporting the abuse," she wrote in a Facebook post Monday. "This was a tactic by my bullying principal."
