Colorado State Representative Brandi Bradley confronted her son's high school history teacher over claims that Leonardo da Vinci was 'gender fluid' and that the Mona Lisa was a depiction of his feminine side. Bradley expressed her outrage on social media before attending a back-to-school night where she questioned the teacher about a film shown in class that promoted these ideas. The teacher defended the lesson, stating it was intended to illustrate the difference between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, periods of artistic self-expression. During the confrontation, another attendee noted that historians generally believe the Mona Lisa depicts Lisa del Giocondo, but the teacher dismissed this as merely an 'argument.' Bradley has criticized the teacher's approach as indoctrination, raising concerns about the curriculum approved by the school district. The incident highlights ongoing debates about educational content regarding historical figures and their interpretations.
