School districts in Florida and Texas have been slammed for pulling “Anne Frank’s Diary,” but it turns out there’s more than one version of the Jewish girl’s famed journal of her life under Nazi occupation — and not all of them are G-rated.
Amy Manuel, whose twin eighth-grade sons are in the class, took issue with the teacher who assigned the reading.
“The reading of that content will cease immediately. Your student’s teacher will communicate her apologies to you and your students soon, as she has expressed those apologies to us,” said the district. “The book the teacher read was not The Diary of Anne Frank, it was Anne Frank’s Diary: The Graphic Adaptation,” the X note read.
Others pointed out that the 2018 edition isn’t the only book on the shelves by or about Anne Frank, who was presented with a diary for her 13th birthday.
