Texas teacher fired for Anne Frank

[Zincwarrior]

Do you have kids?

Yes. You really think modern Jr High kids couldn't handle a diary from another Jr. High kid 80 years ago? What planet are you on?

 

[Zincwarrior]

I’m interested in hanging groomers high. You are interested in defending them.

Anne Frank was a groomer?

 

[DukeU]

That's not the question though.

The diary has been taught for many decades in this country, without this kind of backlash.

But, we're not talking about the original, but a new graphic version.

Why the switch?

Jr High kids don't need pics to read a story, and they surely don't need some substitute teacher with a demented agenda reading it to them.

In comes another lefty with another lie.

Anne Frank’s Diary, in Graphic Form, Reveals Its Humor​

Into this quagmire bravely wade Ari Folman and David Polonsky, the creators of “Anne Frank’s Diary: The Graphic Adaptation,” a stunning, haunting work of art that is unfortunately marred by some questionable interpretive choices. As Folman acknowledges in an adapter’s note, the text, preserved in its entirety, would have resulted in a graphic novel of 3,500 pages. At times he reproduces whole entries verbatim, but more often he diverges freely from the original, collapsing multiple entries onto a single page and replacing Anne’s droll commentary with more accessible (and often more dramatic) language. Polonsky’s illustrations, richly detailed and sensitively rendered, work marvelously to fill in the gaps, allowing an image or a facial expression to stand in for the missing text and also providing context about Anne’s historical circumstances that is, for obvious reasons, absent from the original. The tightly packed panels that result, in which a line or two adapted from the “Diary” might be juxtaposed with a bit of invented dialogue between the Annex inhabitants or a dream vision of Anne’s, do wonders at fitting complex emotions and ideas into a tiny space — a metaphor for the Secret Annex itself.

Derp…
The content in question, dupe.

Because its a comic book and kids can't handle literature any more...

Keep swinging, eventually you'll get it.

So, it's the comic book version?

The kids needed the teacher to describe the pics to them?!?


LMAO

What god forsaken place did you go to school?
Anne questioning her sexuality has always been part of the discussion. We, as in adults, used to understand that this was a normal part of adolescence as young people begin to discover who they are or might become.

Grow up.

As you flail without even a basic understanding.

Evidently. Its Texas.

 

[Rawley]

Well you certainly implied that the tame puberty-related sexual references were pornographic or somehow unsuitable.

It’s silly to think middle school children can’t handle such mild content.

Didn't imply any such thing. I can't help it that "pornographic" leapt into your mind when discussing tween school children. Says volumes about you.

 

[MinTrut]

Great, now get the others to do the same.

The dangerously delusional conservative belief that schools are exposing children to inappropriate materials may be a sign that such conservatives should explore home schooling rather than subjecting others to their dangerous delusions.

A tragedy for their chlldren no doubt, but at least the children of those not triggered by delusional beliefs won't be forced to further suffer.

 

[MinTrut]

It doesn't happen. It's scare tactics because politicians understand they can lead you by the nose with it.

Yup.

 

[MinTrut]

What’s next? Judy Blume ?

Menstruation!

 

[MinTrut]

The content is the same, dupe.

There's some creative reinterpretation in the film/GN, but nothing remotely inappropriate for 13 year olds.

 

[MinTrut]

Yes. You really think modern Jr High kids couldn't handle a diary from another Jr. High kid 80 years ago? What planet are you on?

Uranus?

 

[horselightning]

In what way does the Fucking Diary of Anne Frank promote transsexualism? Where are you getting this from?

Is there some part where Margot transitions to a man before the Nazis murder her or something?

you tell them

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Again. LOL

We see proof of the authoritarian right’s desire to compel conformity, punish dissent, and defend ignorance and fear in this very thread, and on this forum daily.

 

[MinTrut]

Anne Frank was a groomer?

She took pretty good care of that cat; they're pretty big self-groomers too!

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

No, she deliberately chose a book that was not the original Anne Frank, and used it to expose children to explicit and illustrated sexual content.

This is a lie.
