This is an accurate restatement of Anne’s entry in the “original” diary, dated Januit might have been expunged in some earlier versions. If only she had known of my terrible desire to kiss her … I must admit, every time I see a female nude, I go into ecstasy. “Um … Jacque … could we show each other our breasts?” So, for those of you who happen to live in the Keller school district, here it is:īut I had these feelings even before my period … I remember particularly one time when I spent the night at Jacque’s. The graphic novel makes explicit what readers of the original diary might have missed - that Anne had lesbian fantasies and desires. And, to think: For the last 45 years, I have been earning my living teaching this text - to children!īut, Anne Frank? What could possibly have been the problem? Sons sexually violating a father a patriarch selling his wife into temporary sexual slavery in order to get a few camels that same patriarch having sexual relations with the “help” in order to father a child a man offering his daughters to an unruly mob for sexual abuse the aforementioned patriarch almost killing his own son a man having sex with his daughter-in-law, thinking that it had been a prostitute (that would be Judah, our ancestor and namesake!) the attempted seduction of a Hebrew man … These memories crashed into my soul this week, with the news that the Keller Independent School District in suburban Fort Worth, Texas, has ordered its librarians to remove a graphic novel adaptation of “The Diary of Anne Frank” from their shelves and digital libraries, along with the Bible and dozens of other books that were challenged by parents last year. “Anne Frank’s Diary: The Graphic Adaptation” Courtesy image
