Chicago Public Schools chief Barbara Byrd-Bennett is asking principals to disregard an earlier order to pull the graphic novel �Persepolis� out of schools by the end of today, but she asked that schools stop teaching the book to 7th-graders.

Orthodoxy SUCKS.

"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson

Zitat
�These are not photos of torture. It�s a drawing and it�s one frame. I don�t think American kids of seventh grade have not seen any signs of violence. Seventh graders have brains and they see all kinds of things on cinema and the Internet. It�s a black and white drawing and I�m not showing something extremely horrible. That�s a false argument. They have to give a better explanation.�

In Chicago they see worse walking home

The American Library Association, which tracks attempts to remove books from schools and libraries, said it had received no reports about "Persepolis" being challenged or scrutinized for possible banning.

Hmm...
