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?

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

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

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.

So Anne Frank in her diary once got into into the subject of male and female genetalia. Who knew? So now some modern day middle school teacher seizes on that as a way to introduce his or her version of sex education in their teaching, I say fire them on the spot.

It's been many years since I was in school but if you understand English you will understand it does not state which portions she read.

A Texas middle school teacher has been fired after assigning an unapproved illustrated version of Anne Frank's Diary to her eighth grade reading class. Per a report from KFDM, a spokesperson for Hamshire-Fannett ISD, located south of Beaumont, released a statement confirming the teacher was sent home on Wednesday after reading a passage from Anne Frank's Diary: The Graphic Adaptation in which Frank wrote about male and female genitalia. An investigation into the incident has since ensued.

The article notes she read from the book and then the author described the book.

And even if she did, students at that age should be able to read or hear the entire book.

We need to keep those teenagers believing the stork brought them.

Seem like you're the one with the rage.

Better sign up for the refresher course.

Check the line again.

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

She died of typhus.

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

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.
