Andrew the Psycho-Statistician: It is never wrong to teach a book that is a warning about fascism and authoritarianism which has not explicitly been approved by your government.

A Texas middle school teacher has been fired after reading an illustrated version of Anne Frank's Diary to her eighth-grade class chron.com/news/houston...

I think it was overzealous to fire the teacher, BUT: This was not the Diary of Anne Frank, this was a graphic novel based on it, which had not been approved by the district. So the teacher was wrong, but the district majorly overreacted.

It is never wrong to teach a book that is a warning about fascism and authoritarianism which has not explicitly been approved by your government.
