Like I said, which I'm having a feeling wasn't even read by many - you cannot
pull THAT front page of Commons up in a classroom or educational environment
and have it celebrated by a middle school teacher. Some of her kids might
think it's "cool" or "hot", but, if I'd be one pissed parent.
All it takes is
one pissed parent, who overreacts, to report to the news that "my kid was
shown porn at school/museum/church/camp/after school workshops/whatever' and
all hell will break lose.
In which case you should not be displaying Wikimedia Commons in such
environments. Wikimedia Commons is an uncensored image repository, not a
repository of images suitable for uncontroversial display to middle school
teachers in whichever country you are in.
