Should art depicting the nude human form be banned?

The statue of Justice in the lobby of the Department of Justice was covered because the statue depicted a naked human breast. Should all art that depicts the naked human form, whether sculpture or painting or otherwise, be taken off public view, covered, destroyed, or simply be left on public view? Michelangelo’s David is hailed as a masterpiece, yet it depicts a human male in an unclothed condition. Is such art suitable for viewing by the public? By children? Your thoughts, please.

Art of anyform should NOT be banned. If a piece of work depicts the naked human form, whatever media it is in, it should be shown as the artist intended it to-on public view. Many pieces of art contain nudity, from all different eras of time.
Children have the availability while standing beside their parents in line at the grocery store/gas station, to look over and see Paris Hilton’s half blurred vagina on the cover of 10 magazines and look over further on the opposite side of the counter and see magazines such as Jugs, Playboy, etc.-why should we be worried about the CULTURE that is infused in ART when our own Playboy Pop culture is winning out through most of America? Children and the public see much more vivid things on TV then they have yet to see in an art museum. Art has the ability to positively change the way people/children look at the world. This is ART-it’s sanity/reality/beauty fullfillment to the soul (as cliche as that sounds) nothing and no one should have the right to take it away nor hide any part of it!
