Texas school district removes Anne Frank diary, Bible from shelves after complaint

A school district in Texas removed the Bible, an illustrated edition of Anne Frank's Diary, and about 40 other books from its library. This is because the book has caused complaints from parents and his members of the community.

According to the Dallas Morning News, the Keller Independent School District sent an email to principals Tuesday morning ordering the temporary removal of books .

"We need to get all the books from the library and classrooms by the end of the day," the email read. "Detailed information about the action on these books will be sent...Once this is done please email me a confirmation. I need to make sure this action takes place today."

The inclusion of the Bible in the Dallas-area school district's library was first challenged by parents in November 2021.The Keller ISD websitetracks which books are family and parishioner books. The community is complaining.

Although the parent withdrew its objection a month later, the Christian scriptures were not found in "The Graphic Adaptation" of Anne Frank or Toni Morrison's "Bluest Eyes."

According to local Fox station, last year school district boards recommended not removing many of the problematic books . of new members have been elected to the school board, perhaps explaining the order.

The books taken off the shelves have been decimated by staff and the library under new policies adopted last week. The school district said in a statement that it would be reviewed by a member of the school.

The Keller ISD was investigated last year by the Texas Department of Education for books containing sexual content.

Since then, parents and staff have met behind closed doors to review potentially controversial books and consider their use in schools.
