Never thought I’d post on this.
Stuck in an attic all day with nothing much to do, the adolescent Anne Frank got curious about her naughty bits. And wrote a description of it in her diary. A new edition restores the passage which has been omitted in previous versions of the diary.
Now the Culpeper County Public Schools in Virginia won’t let their students read the book.
I’m sure the massive media scrutiny, school board meetings, and Op-Eds won’t send the 8th-graders on a mad hunt for the passage. Hey kids, if you’re reading this, forget Anne Frank. Pick up a copy of Günter Grass’s The Tin Drum.
