I wonder if the museum would sell a climate realist calendar containing nudity?

Climate Change Calendar Causes Chaos - Ethical Pulse
Ethical creative company Flipside Vision is dismayed that their annual Calendar of Climate Change, has this year been declined for sale by the Natural History Museum in London due to artistic images which contain natural nudity.

The calendar is a valuable educational resource for schools, colleges, as well as a beautiful environmentally-friendly calendar for the home and office, and a percentage of all proceeds from its sale go to charity Stop Climate Chaos.

The Natural History Museum merchandise department rejected the calendar, saying that it "would not be able to stock this particular item, as some of the images are not ‘on brand' - naked bodies could be deemed offensive and not in line with the message of the museum."

I would have expected better of the Natural History Museum. There action is offensive.

They have obviously not studied the human animal at all thoroughly or they would know how harmful prudery is. The factual evidence is really very clear. Prudery is harmful and they should be ashamed at putting prejudice before the welfare of children and young people.

There are thousands of official censors in this country. An official body to prevent harmful censorship is long overdue.
