Seems like they removed it (not banned. That's different.) from their curriculum over female nudity, profanity, and questions of if content (like hangings) was appropriate for 8th grade students. Which makes me wonder why it was on there in the first place. So firstly, they're not 'banning' it, they're removing it from the curriculum. That's not the same. Presumably if a student got caught with a copy of it there wouldn't be an issue. I think those reasons are stupid for 8th graders who should be old enough to handle at least some of that content. I get why they'd want the female nudity not shown to minors, but profanity and things like hanging/killing children (especially in cartoon form)? They've seen/heard worse.

If they were actually banning it I would be outraged, but reading curriculum's change all the time and I don't THINK they're trying to cover up the holocaust or w/e. Even if they were it's one school. I'd want to keep an eye on them, but by itself it doesn't seem that concerning (if stupid in why they're removing it from the curriculum barring that one image).
