Total idiots on that Board. They should've been made to visit a Holocaust museum before their vote. Don't learn, doomed to repeat. CNBC The education system is going to have the internet teaching our children. they will search for the things they want to know and hopefully where they find it is coming from a place of intelligence and not ignorance. its not the 50s anymore you cant remove everything you dont like.

A Tennessee school board removed the graphic novel 'Maus,' about the Holocaust, from curriculum due to language and nudity concerns'Maus,' the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel about the experiences of Holocaust survivors, has been removed from an eighth-grade English language arts curriculum by a Tennessee school board over concerns about 'rough, objectionable language' and a drawing of a nude woman.
