Republicans want the Bible taught in school, but not Anne Frank's diary. What, ultimately, is their agenda?
Not a good look for you.

We read Anne Frank's diary in 6th grade. It wasn't a political thing. That must have been 1975 or 1976. It was a different world then.
It was one of the most important books I have encountered. It am blown away to find some of the complaints against it. There are edited and redacted versions for young people. Why people wouldn't want THOSE read is curious...
The Holocaust, Nazis, death, hiding, Anne's sexual stuff aside-- it's an important book for kids as it's a kid's narrative of great hardship. Pretty much anyone can relate to it.
Which I think is why it is banned. It gives kids ease, hope, connection.
