I was floored this week when I read, “Diary of Anne Frank pulled from a School shelf.” I mean how many of you remember the story of Anne Frank? The reason it was pulled was due to

two sentences Anne used when describing her “vagina.” But apparently some parents weren’t too happy to hear about this and asked that they skip this part of the lessons, but instead of skipping it the Culpepper (Virginia) School decided to pull that particular book from the class and use another one that doesn’t include this passage.
“There are little folds of skin all over the place, you can hardly find it,” wrote Anne Frank in her famous diary. “The little hole underneath is so terribly small that I simply can’t imagine how a man can get in there, let alone how a whole baby can get out!”
Apparently there are many forms of this story, with each one having been edited and changed a bit. The one that the parents were upset over is the “Diary of Anne Frank” the Definitive Edition. This is a red book that was published in 1995 that has been unedited and contains everything that would’ve been stated.
The good news is that the school didn’t take out this lesson from their list, instead they are just using the edited editions. What are your thoughts on this? Should they have bent over and took this particular book off the reading list or kept the one they were using?
