Tennessee School Board Pulls Holocaust Graphic Novel ‘Maus’ Over Offensive Themes & Language

A Tennessee school board voted to remove "Maus," a graphic novel about the Holocaust, from its eighth-grade curriculum due to concerns about themes and language it deemed offensive, according to meeting minutes.

Published in two volumes in 1986 and 1991, it chronicles the experiences of Spiegelman's parents in Nazi-occupied Poland and later in Auschwitz.

Supreme Court needs Biden to name Black woman to succeed Breyer

Whatever you think of the pressure exerted on Justice Stephen Breyer to retire over the last couple of years – and it has been intense – there is no question that Justice Breyer, expected to announce he's stepping down, would be making the right choice. His retirement would be a selfless action after three decades of equally selfless service on the high court. His commendable legacy includes opposition to the death penalty and to racism in our criminal justice system.And his departure would come at a new inflection point in our country's long civil rights struggle, one that cries out for a justice made for this moment.Threats to voting rightsWhen Justice Thurgood Marshall took his seat on the Supreme Court, it was at the height of the civil rights movement of the 1960s.

Kiefer Sutherland: ‘I said: I can do a very good Donald Sutherland for half the money’ | Films

Hello Keith... What is your favorite expression in English? ClassicMacGruberI'm sure they meant Kief? Or maybe not? They call me Kief in England more than anywhere else. I met some young parents around 2001 who had named their son Kiefer, but I have never met anyone named Kiefer who is my age. As for my favorite British expression, there's "bit and bobs," which is so sweet and reminds me of my grandmother, and "Oi!" who isn't technically British, but every time I say "Oi!" stops the room.Does your twin sister have as many middle names as you? emzsamI am Kiefer William Frederick Dempsey George Rufus Sutherland. She is Rachel Elizabeth Maria Teresa Dorothy Isabelle Sutherland. We never got a straight answer from our father as to why he was so generous. I've always joked that he m...

Now that I’ve finally played The Last of Us, who wants to talk about that ending? | Games

'ORK, Dad, this is an incredible essay on the effects of grief and gray morality in a postapocalyptic society,” says the eldest child, AKA the millennial. “It's got proper female characters, progressive takes on sexuality and tons of rain.”“They've made a video game of The Handmaid's Tale?”“No, Dad. It's The Last of Us. Don't worry. It's still a zombie shooter. And both games have the best ending ever.”Now she has my interest. Video game endings fascinate me, because my generation started out with arcade games that didn't have them. Pac-Man kept eating dots and chasing ghosts and the Space Invaders kept coming, wave after incessant wave. The first arcade game that had an actual ending was Dragon's Lair and nobody actually saw that because it was so hard to complete.I have a toug...
