Admission: I have actually never read Anne Frank's diary.  But Fuquad said what I was going to anyway.

I only read the bit where Goku teleported into her room ...

It's not teleportation, it's instant transmission. Unless we're talking about a different Goku...

Teleportation is the transfer of matter from one point to another, more or less instantaneously.

E.O.T.

UM,

          How do we teleport more propaganda?

NNd,

          How do we enforce the propaganda in schools, so they have no choice?

Next up; the banning of everything by Bradbury, Orwell, Steinbeck, and Huxley.

They already got Twain. It's getting to the point of asking, who's left?

God forbid we encourage these kids to have any intelligent discourse in their classrooms.

I need to acquire required-reading lists from 1977 for grades 6-12, and stock my shelves.

I'd like to see Letters from the Earth as mandatory reading in any school that teaches Creation Science (lolscience!).

The liberals did that one, because Huck Finn said a bad word.

I'm surprised schools are even teaching Anne Frank these days.

I can't believe they keep banning books... I mean, these parents DO realize that whether or not they ban these books, their children will eventually discover things that parents don't want them too. So there really isn't any point in banning books. It makes me sad how many parents become way too freaky about stuff that's in books, it's not like you can keep your child from finding things out, unless you lock them in the basement for the rest of their lives til they hit 40 or 50.

It isn't the parents doing it.  It's people who are convinced THEY know what's good for OUR kids.  Or even us.

We can't have ideas just floating around all unregulated, you know.

I read another diary as well, I forgot what, but the girl and her family traveled around a lot between Switzerland, France, and Belgium I believe.
