Wait at what ages are they reading about Anne Frank? I'd have gone at least 14-15 minimum to have the maturity to understand the context and situation it was written under.
My concern is now tied with them giving out sex books to prepubesant kids, they are giving shit out without ensuring the necessary maturity to understand the context is there.
Anne frank isn't the issue, that is the distraction.
The issue is that some content isn't appropriate for a school curriculum.
My position is that no explicitly sexual content, as in depictions of sex acts, should be allowed in schools and implicitly sexual content should be default prohibited but can be allowed on a specific case basis.
She writes about fingerblasting herself. Or her dad writes about it.
Yeah all of it was edited/written by her dad. There's no unabridged version.
Unabridged meaning all the stuff that he chose to write/put in there is included, including his daughter fingerblasting herself.
That's controversial? (if you're not joking) You're literally hiding from guys trying to genocide you and that's the controversial part?
How are these weak fools given the power to dictate what books are released?
Deemed not appropriate for children is not the same as censored.
Why should there be any discussion, mention, or reference to masturbation as a part of the curriculum in public schools?

The diary is an important historical artifact. The masturbation stuff is incidental.
I suppose I can imagine some adolescent boys steering the classroom discussion to the naughty bits--
"Yeah, Mr. Hand, we know they were hiding from the Nazis, but what.about this fingerblasting stuff on page 98?"
"Spiccolli, I see what you're trying to do and it won't work."
Is it explicit or implied? If it is explicit then outright no, cut that part. I haven't read it since forced to in high school so I don't remember.
If it is implied then make a judgement and take into account the age of the kids. Seniors probably, freshmen, probably not.
