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.
Well, let’s be clear here: It is not “based on,” the text Frank wrote, but rather, faithful to the text Frank wrote. As in, not bowdlerized. And whether or not it was on approved lists is in dispute.
