Conservative activists, led by a local pastor and outspoken Israel advocate, pushed the district, Mission CISD, to excise books mostly about gender, sexuality and race. Their demands represented an extreme version of a nationwide culture war over books that has played out in recent years — and ensnared a number of books with Jewish themes.

In Mission, the long list of books on the chopping block includes a recent illustrated adaptation of Anne Frank’s diary; both volumes of Art Spiegelman’s Holocaust graphic memoir “Maus”; “The Fixer,” Bernard Malamud’s novel about a historical instance of antisemitic blood libel; and “Kasher in the Rye,” a ribald memoir by Jewish comedian Moshe Kasher.

    I don’t know how you can eat your cereals without choking with that mental prowess.

    What do you think the book is adapting? The original Anne Frank’s diary. This is the same fucking story but with pictures. This is not the gotcha you think it is.

    I won’t respond anymore because you are clearly just being a dumbass to make your argument look credible.
