Renaissance painting offended French school students

"Students looked away, felt offended, said they were shocked.” 
French Education Minister Gabriel Attal has visited a school where pupils refused to look at a 17th-Century painting portraying nude women. Several first-year high school students said they were offended by the Renaissance painting Diana and Actaeon, by Italian painter Giuseppe Cesari. The students later claimed their teacher had made racist and Islamophobic remarks - a claim denied by the school. Teachers at the school in Issou, near Paris, refused to work in response to the incident.
