It never ceases to amaze me just how far some religious organizations are willing to go in the name of what they consider “good taste”.
A former student at Pensacola Christian College in Florida recently took to Imgur to share how the school decided to censor fine art books in their library. Apparently, it was up to someone at the college to take a black marker to books of historical paintings to cover up any body parts that they deemed a little too risqué.
Let’s take a look at some of these works of art that have been “cleaned up” for our benefit, shall we?

And, to top it all off, we have one of the most famous paintings of all time, the Mona Lisa.

People online were taken aback by the doctored images, including another former student of the college.

Seems a bit excessive and ridiculous, doesn’t it?
