A book about Anne Frank has been removed from a Florida school library after a parent group complained that it was sexually explicit and minimized the Holocaust.
The tome titled “Anne Frank’s Diary: The Graphic Adaptation” was yanked from the shelves at Vero Beach High School in Indian River County after Moms for Liberty voiced concerns, WPTV reported.
“We think true history absolutely needs to be taught, the Holocaust, the Anne Frank diary,” Jennifer Pippin, chairwoman of the group’s local chapter, told the outlet.
But she argued that it was inappropriate that the book features illustrations of the girl strolling among nude statues, as well as a “graphic scene” where she asks a friend to expose themselves to one another.
After the grassroots parent advocacy group complained to the principal, the school determined that some portions of the book did not contribute to the themes of Holocaust education, WPTV reported.

“Grassroots parent advocacy groups” = idiots
Headline should read
“Anne Frank Manga book”
How ‘bout bringing in Drag Queens to read Anne Frank to the kiddies? The kids need to know about concentration camps before they become “wildly popular” in this country.
“Anne Frank’s Diary: The Graphic Adaptation”
Hmmmmm. There weren’t any graphics in the version I read.
No kidding
“But she argued that it was inappropriate that the book features illustrations of the girl strolling among nude statues, as well as a “graphic scene” where she asks a friend to expose themselves to one another.”
I’m not familiar with the book in question, but why does everything have to be sexualized especially when kids are involved? Get the sex BS out of it and simply tell her story and the good she did.
Wait I’ve read the updated version and YES it is
“Grassroots parent advocacy groups” = false flag, liberals doing this and blaming Americans.
Why not read the real thing. Are the "teachers" too stupid to handle it?
Note: The book in question is a woke, graphic adaptation, NOT Anne Frank’s work product!!!
Note....it wasn’t “The Diary of Anne Frank” that was pulled.
It was “Anne Frank’s Diary: The Graphic Adaptation”......a comic book that was pulled.
That’s not the reason. It’s because it shows the bravery of a young woman when faced with brutal inhuman savagery. If it had been about her “transitioning” to a “man” the book would be required reading for all schoolchildren.
One must actually read the article to learn that.
Too many people here are too damn dumb to accomplish that legendary feat.
Have you even considered the ‘slant’ this media piece want to give????
I happen to be well acquainted with Moms for Liberty in this county and they are one of the best things to happen to our schools!
Moms have voices and they use them to protect their children
There is nothing wrong with The Diary of Anne Frank…..but we don’t need a revived, sexualized version!
“why does everything have to be sexualized especially when kids are involved”
Isn’t that the truth? All these leftists can think about is sex and how to pervert it. All day long.

as well as a “graphic scene” where she asks a friend to expose themselves to one another.
In other words, kiddie porn, posing as a comic book. NOT "The Diary of Ann Frank".
Absolutely NOT A FALSE FLAG!
Moms for Liberty pay close attention at school board meetings and Florida legislature decisions!
This is the book/edition they are speaking of. NOT the one we read in school

A timeless story rediscovered by each new generation, The Diary of a Young Girl stands without peer. This graphic edition remains faithful to the original, while the stunning illustrations interpret and add layers of visual meaning and immediacy to this classic work of Holocaust literature.
For both young readers and adults The Diary continues to capture the remarkable spirit of Anne Frank, who for a time survived the worst horror the modern world has seen—and who remained triumphantly and heartbreakingly human throughout her ordeal.
