A book about Anne Frank has been removed from a Florida school library after a parent group complained that it was sexually explicit and minimized the Holocaust.
After the grassroots parent-advocacy group complained to the principal, the school determined that some portions of the book did not contribute to the themes of Holocaust education, WPTV reported. The book — adapted by Ari Folman, the son of Holocaust survivors, and illustrated by David Polonsky – was only available at the high school’s library,The three others — part of a series entitled “Assassination Classroom” at the Gifford Middle School library — were about a junior high teacher who was really an alien with superpowers, TCPalm reported.Pippin said they were inappropriate because they contained illustrations of students with guns in a classroom.
Schafte told WPTV the district is proud of the work principals are conducting as initial gatekeepers.
