Uhh... the Liberals are pushing sex ed on Kindergartners! They’re teaching condom use in 5th grade. They’re allowing tweens to get birth control and the morning-after pill.

They’re banned most classic literature in lieu of technical manuals with this Common Core bullshit.

And this woman is complaining about a piece of literature that’s been considered required reading for decades?

Get the Hell out of town! Homeschool your kid if you’re that concerned.

I read this book back when I was in middle school. My daughter read it this year (7th grade) and discussed one evening how Anne was either bisexual or a lesbian. I almost choked! I said, “I don’t remember THAT!”. I read the edited version for the time. She then showed me several passages that .. discussed her wanting to touch another girl’s chest. So, yes... if you read this book in your youth, you may have read the edited version.

And a few years ago there was outrage in Detroit over reading Huck Finn in school.

I read it in the 4th grade.

And at the time found the the concept of the Holocaust far more shocking than reflecting upon body parts that all us gals have.

Sometimes grisly truths are worth teaching to young’uns. The Holocaust is probably one of them.

The Easter story isn’t about bunnies and colored eggs, either ... its got a happy ending, but its a gruesome story of torture, persecution and death. And, if your kid doesn’t know it, he should.

What? I saw the Exorcist when it came out AND read the book and I was only ten years old.
I read Anne Frank’s diary many years ago and I don’t remember anything too offensive, except of course them rounding up Jews to send to their deaths. Apparently, she’s OK with that part.

In my day, the purpose of reading it was to learn about the Holocaust. Today, with teachers steeped in Marxist-Feminist theory in vollege, classic literature is being repurposed to be a vehicle for normalizing homosexuality.

Reminds me of “Huckleberry Finn”. Are we going to remove every great book because something in it offends somebody?

I have read the “unedited” version of Anne Frank’s diary.

Yes it is sexual in nature, a little raw. However it is not pornagraphic. Kinda reminds me of “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret” just not so raunchy.

At least it wasn’t the unedited Diary Of Barney Frank.
