Mom says Anne Frank's 'Diary' is porn, fights to pull it from school

A mother in Northville, Mich., has filed a formal complaint against her daughter's school district. Why? For teaching middle-schoolers smut like Anne Frank's classic "The Diary of a Young Girl," of course. Gail Horalek began looking into the renowned diary's content after her daughter told her some of it was making her uncomfortable. (The section in question is, apparently, a passage about Frank's "discovering her genitalia.") Horalek believes the school should have gotten parents' OK before assigning the "pornographic" book to seventh-graders; now she wants the unedited version of the diary removed from classrooms. Too much time on her hands, maybe? [Source]
