She and the school board worked out a deal. Seems like someone also discovered the parent who was offended was donating money to board members' campaigns. Edited January 25, 2022 by Idalou 1 1 Quote

Yesterday, one Tennessee district banned Maus from the 8th grade curriculum. Oh, and TODAY is holocaust remembrance day. https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/education/2022/01/27/tennessee-school-board-removes-holocaust-mausart-spiegelman/9237260002/ 1 Quote

Yeah, it's cray. It's also an accurate reflection of the push-pull happening where I live. DS donated his copy of Maus to the middle school he attends without issue. DS, literally, reports on how often his donations are checked out each week and there's at least one other student gobbling them up. DD's HS explicitly includes "anti-racism" in it's motto/creed. Any surprise that its students were largely masked after the Governor's proclamation/District decision to go mask optional? Leadership matters. Kids will respond.
