Michelangelo's David is kitsch, and was the day it was sculpted.
The Discobolus of Myron is kitsch, and was the day it was sculpted.
The right half of Botero's Adam and Eve is kitsch, and was the day it was painted.
Pollaiuolo's Battle of the Nudes is kitsch, and was the day it was engraved.
No matter how much these works are puffed up in art history classes the world over, male nudity is inherently disgusting and kitsch, and always has been.

You fired a school's principal because she dared to show Michelangelo's David's photos to her students.
We have nuns who are doing a group selfie under the original statue.
We are not the same.

The principal was fired because the school’s history class talked about the statue.
Also, The Simpsons did it in 1990.
