A Michigan parent wants parts of Anne Frank's prolific diary banned from her daughter's classroom.
Gail Horalek of Northville is upset over Frank's references to her own genitalia in the diary. She says the passages made her daughter uncomfortable and that the school should have requested parental permission before assigning it to students, Patch.com reported.
'It's pretty graphic, and it's pretty pornographic for seventh-grade boys and girls to be reading,' Horalek told the Detroit's Fox affiliate. 'It's inappropriate for a teacher to be giving this material out to the kids when its really the parents' job to give the students this information.'
Horalek is referring to an unabridged version of the diary titled 'Anne Frank: The Diary of Young Girl (The Definitive Edition).'
The version includes passages which had been omitted by Frank's father, Otto Frank, in the first version of the diary that was published in 1947.
The specific passages that upset Horalek's daughter involve Frank's discovery of her vagina.
'There are little folds of skin all over the place, you can hardly find it,' the passage reads. 'The little hole underneath is so terribly small that I simply can't imagine how a man can get in there, let alone how a whole baby can get out!'
