...Virginia is still backwards...

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.

You've obviously missed the point. The 'fiftieth anniversary edition'
was problematic due to its
'sexual material and homosexual themes'. The book is being used in
Virginia at the eighth grade
level. Wonder what friggin' liberal decided to rewrite the book? Why
must homosexuality be crammed
down the throats of public school kids?

Do y'all reckon it's more useful than math?

Well of course it shoves NAMBLA/DNC values down kids throats, that's why
the libs want to start the indoctrination so young, remember Pedophiles
aren't interested in High School kids....


Unlikely you or herring read any edition of The Diary. even the Classic
Comics version.
