This is inspired by the thread on the Utah teacher fired because
students saw nudity in art:

My mother was not born in the USA. She had ethnic and national
ties to her mother country. One of the things she was fond of
was renaissance art. We had reproductions of it in our house.
I grew up with it.

We didn't live in Utah. My Mother was the perennial "Cultural
Refinement" teacher in Relief Society. She would take her large
postum-table books and many of the reproductions to Relief
Society to augment her lessons. I never heard of anyone raising
as much as an eyebrow.

So my Dad retires and decides he wants to move to Utah to live.
So we all move to Orem. We unpack the moving van and put up all
our reproductions of renaissance masterpieces around the house.

After we'd been there a few months my Mother answered the
doorbell. It was three neighborhood girls around 8 or 9 years
old. They blurted out, "do you have a naked man in your living-
room?"

My mother was rather shocked. She looked around and then
realized that they were talking about the 18-inch tall
reproduction of Michelangelo's David that was in the corner of
the living room. She asked, "do you mean this statue?"

The girls said yes and asked if they could see it. "Sure," she
agreed and they came in and saw the reproduction of David in all
his glory. I later learned that, although we were "good
Mormons," we had a reputation for being a bit strange because of
the nudity displayed in our house.

When my mother died and we were cleaning out the house, my
brother, a CES employee, looked up at the reproduction of the
"Creation of Adam" from the Sistine Chapel ceiling. He said,
"this would look good in the den."

His wife, born and raised in Orem, immediately said, "oh no it
won't."

None of my brothers nor I live in Utah. Last time I visited my
other brother (not the CED employee) I noticed the statue of
David that he'd inherited from Mom was no longer in view where
it had been. I asked him about it. "Oh," he told me, "my wife
has Relief Society sisters over for some meetings on a regular
basis, so we moved it to the basement."

Conformity is always best; never trust those who would be different!

Awhhwhh that's too bad, I wish your brother would bring the statue back up into the living room but just tastefully clothe it like this-->

Having a statue of that reminds me of The Goonies. When the penis falls off the statue and they are trying to put it back on.

The only nudity I saw in Provo was on Benny Hill (1980s).
