No Nipples in Nebraska

Again, it's all about the deadly female nipple. Nebraska elementary school students will not be allowed to see a 1949 photograph of a woman swimming in which a partially distorted breast is visible beneath the ripples in the water. On the other hand, a painting depicting the fully nude backside of a woman will be shown to the children. The traveling art show is called "Flow" with water as the main theme.
Three years ago, a painting called “Widow's Walk," by Wilber artist James Cantrell was removed from the traveling Sheldon art show in North Platte and McCook.

That painting was a distant view of the upper half of a women standing in a window of the upper floor of an ornate Victorian house. She is wearing a bra...After receiving initial responses from parents, North Platte’s elementary principals decided to pull the photograph. Some parents who responded recommended stopping the entire show, Twarling said.
