Texas teacher fired for Anne Frank

[Papageorgio]

OMG

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

Looks like you failed history.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

You are wrong. Why do you think DeSantis has so much support?

That Floridians are ignorant does not mean they are correct.

 

[DudleySmith]

The lib teacher should not have chosrn yhe mist salacious portions of the book when there were cleaner passages to choose from

But maybe not as interesting to a groomer who is more interested in sex

Looks like you failed history.

They don't need history, they can just make it up as they go along.

Mostly New York and other Yankee snowbirds. Your own ignorance is pretty obvious.

 

[Mac-7]

For libs history is no fun unless it revolves around porn

Gotta groom the children, doncha know

 

[DudleySmith]

Its reported that the sex passages were read

He knows, he's just another pagan sociopath flapping his arms around, hoping to ward off the Evul Spirits trying to make grooming sound bad n stuff.

 

[frigidweirdo]

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.

It was written by a child

 

[pknopp]

Its reported that the sex passages were read

Lie. But we expect that.

If nothing else, the new text helps us keep in mind that for all the horrors Frank was experiencing, she was still a rather typical teenage girl, and we can only love her more for it.

Just like Florida is now saying slavery was vocational education, the Holocaust will soon be taught as a riot that got out of hand (re January 6) in red states.

Wow...a book from the approved reading list mentioned genitalia; a teacher read it to her class. Shocking!

 

[SweetSue92]

She died of typhus.

In a Nazi death camp.

You have to have a truly warped mind to think someone wandering around the Senate, or sitting at Pelosi's desk, is akin to the Holocaust. But that's what you did.

A substitute teacher should absolutely be fired for this. It's called discretion and common sense.

For example, we can show Van Gogh artwork to children. Maybe don't teach them why, and how, he was mentally ill and cut his own ear off. We all understand that.

Only Leftists never understand it when it comes to sexuality. Nothing is "in the privacy of the bedroom"--that crap needs to be aired all the time.

People are saying no. Deal with it.

 

[Blues Man]

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.

It was not the approved book.

Let's not make this into more than it is.

It was written by a teen girl writing down thoughts very much the same as the vast majority of teen girls.

You are the one with problems in thinking it's all "dirty".

The fact that it wasn't the "approved book" is very much part of the issue.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

The unabridged version of Frank's diary has also recently sparked controversy in other Texas schools, including at Dallas-Fort Worth's Keller ISD where it was pulled from library shelves last year, along with the Bible. In Florida, the graphic novel adaptation was removed from a high school in Vero Beach earlier this year after a parent complained about its sexual content

A GRAPHIC NOVEL That means a COMIC BOOK.

Why did the article not include the part that got her fired?

What I think about it is immaterial. That part of the diary is not pertinent to history--which is the big reason the diary is renowned. That's first.

Second, in the same way it is not right to censor children from writers/artists/musicians because they did something "dirty" (your words), it is not mandatory to expose them to that "dirty" stuff either. You teach the pertinent parts, and society trusts that teachers will censor that which is inappropriate, and not pertinent.

I wonder how much these pinheads would love it if I taught like this:

"We're going to learn about 'Pictures at an Exhibition'. It was written by Modest Mussorgsky. See his red cheeks? That's because he was a drunk."

Kids: "What's a drunk?"

According to these yahoos, that's what I should be teaching children, see. Don't leave anything out--teach it all.

And then we get to the jazz musicians....

No one should want their children going to a school district like this.

Much, much more of this on the way, gang. They're just getting started.

They think they're fighting "Satan". The only way to really do that is with a theocracy.
