Texas teacher fired for Anne Frank

[rightwinger]

Its ok. The Nazi exterminated her and her mom. Thats ok to talk about but not girl and boy parts

Texas

Genocide? OK
Pee Pees? You are fired

 

[rightwinger]

She died of typhus.

Typhus was a common cause of death in Concentration Camps

Not sure it would it help if you still don't recognize your mistake even after it's been pointed out to you.

When you do that I'll acknowledge it. The article does NOT note what passages she read. It does describe the book.

English 101.

OMG

In a story about a young girl slaughtered by Nazis, Texas is outraged about genitalia

everything is big in texas

 

[pknopp]

The holocaust absolutely should be taught in school in all aspects; how it happened, who perpetrated it and who suffered because of it, why it was allowed to happen, what all it entailed, etc. However, one teenager's thoughts about her body and the bodies of others can be read on your own time.

Which as far as we know was the assignment.

Texas freaked.

 

[hjmick]

Check the line again.

Yet it lives on forever in my original post...

So you are like that, OK. Ignore,

Oh my goodness, you're serious. You think "after reading a passage from Anne Frank's Diary: The Graphic Adaptation in which Frank wrote about male and female genitalia" means she read some other random passage from the book, and they were just generally describing what the book is about when they say "in which Frank wrote about male and female genitalia" Rather than say, perhaps, "in which Frank wrote about her life hiding from the Nazis during the holocaust?"

It means we have no idea what passage she read.

and they were just generally describing what the book is about when they say "in which Frank wrote about male and female genitalia" Rather than say, perhaps, "in which Frank wrote about her life hiding from the Nazis during the holocaust?"

Yes, that is what the author of the article did.

Wow. OK. I think we're done here.

 

[pknopp]

Wow. OK. I think we're done here.

A long time ago.

 

[Zincwarrior]

So they fired the teacher for that? Its Jr. High. They get sex ed then. Wow.

Yes. Like other Western nations Germany used Zyklon B kill the lice that were transmitting typhus. Frank underwent the delousing procedure when she arrived at Auschwitz, but would later die from it anyway. The Nazis didn't intentionally infect people with the disease, for obvious reasons. So how exactly did the Nazis slaughter her when they actually took measures to prevent her from getting typhus?

 

[struth]

I try and let things largely roll of my back but holy cow they are getting absolutely crazy in Texas.

Fired for assigning Anne Frank?

Texas teacher fired for reading Diary of Anne Frank to class

These are middle school students so they are roughly equal in age to Anne Frank when she wrote her diary.

Why would someone assign a graphic novel of the Diary Of Anne Frank with pictures of penis and viginas instead of simply assigning the book?

That seems to be the issue, if you bothered to read your link

They slaughtered Ann Frank by locking an innocent child in a concentration camp that was infested with lice bearing typhus

 

[Zincwarrior]

For eighth graders? Depending on how it's handled, discussing the holocaust seems age appropriate

Discussing putting children in ovens...ok. discussing that the author nites boys have dicks FIRE THAT TEACHER Immediately.

 

[jknowgood]

Did you read the story? It was a substitute teacher and she was sent home because she read a passage from the book where Frank wrote about male and female genitalia.

WTF? Why did feel the need to read that section to children? It's weird.

Ah the truth comes out.

It's the human condition...

Shows you the utter contempt for an eyewitness account of inhumanity.

 

[hjmick]

So you are like that, OK. Ignore,

You need to get a sense of humor.
