The Diary of Anne Frank was still being banned in 2010.
The Diary of a Young Girl: The Definitive Edition
By Anne Frank, Otto M. Frank, Mirjam Pressler, Susan Massotty
Challenged at the Culpeper County, Va. public
schools (2010) by a parent requesting that her
daughter not be required to read the book aloud.
Initially, it was reported that officials decided to
stop assigning a version of Anne Frank’s diary,
one of the most enduring symbols of the atrocities
of the Nazi regime, due to the complaint that the
book includes sexual material and homosexual
themes. The director of instruction announced
the edition published on the fiftieth anniversary
of Frank’s death in a concentration camp will not
be used in the future despite the fact the school
system did not follow its own policy for handling
complaints. The remarks set off a hailstorm of
criticism online and brought international attention
to the 7,600-student school system in rural Virginia.
The superintendent said, however, that the book
will remain a part of English classes, although it
may be taught at a different grade level.

There you go. Homosexual themes. Just what we need to get Harry
aroused.

If you read the article, they are keeping it in the system, it's just
that they are not going to start the indoctrination early enough for
progressives...

You read Harry's nonsense? How odd.

Well, I don't see it directly but I read this re-quote and saw that the
whole pretense of his post, was as usual, a lie...

Uh, school officials decided to stop assigning the reading of the diary
and, apparently, public pressure got them to partially reverse that
decision. And, the article notes, the school officials didn't even
follow their own policies for handling a parental complaint.

Anne Frank was about 16 when the Nazis killed her.

My theory is that the parent who complained was a fundamentalist. Just a
theory.

Anne Frank died from disease, not from the Nazis. She MAY have died in
their care, but not " from " them.
