Frank, Anne: The Diary of a Young Girl. Rated N for Not Acceptable. Huh?
According to the notes, the book failed to make the cut because Anne Frank, like most teenagers, talked back to her mother, and had a schoolgirl romance with fellow teenaged refugee Peter Van Daan.
So, let me get this straight. The most famous book, by a Jewish author, on a Jewish subject, is not acceptable for Jewish children to read? Because Anne was honest? What does THAT teach our children?
I think the point is that they don't want to teach our children but rather to indoctrinate them.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's why I don't want to send my kids there! I'd rather save the tuition and teach them to think for themselves!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you could post the list. I think it'd be interesting.
