The U.S. Holocaust Museum this week denounced the McMinn County Board of Education's decision.
The McMinn County School Board unanimously voted to remove the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel “Maus” from the eighth-grade curriculum. They were concerned about inappropriate words and images."Maus," a Pulitzer-winning book about the Holocaust, has been banned in one Tennessee school district.
At a McMinn County Board of Education meeting on Jan. 10, some members objected to the novel's images of mice stripping their clothes off at the concentration camp and what they said was its"vulgar" language. "The values of the county are understood. There is some rough, objectionable language in this book and knowing that and hearing from many of you and discussing it, two or three of you came by my office to discuss that," said McMinn County director of schools Lee Parkison at the beginning of the session.
