I agree, this one getting caught up in the mix is a bit silly, but they're making a mountain out of a molehill...especially when you don't hear a peep from the "gay p0rn cartoon books should be allowed in grade school libraries" posse when it comes to their side removing classics like "Huck Finn" and "To Kill a Mockingbird" from these schools.Ducks4brkfast said:https://www.offthekuff.com/wp/?p=111530Jack Klompus said:
What about The Day the Crayons Quit? The peach crayon was naked in that book since its owner stripped off his wrapper and violated him/her.Quote:
The cartoon David takes every opportunity to misbehave but is always reminded that his parents love him anyway, according to the book's publisher, Scholastic Inc. At one point in the story, a David jumps out of the tub and and is pictured running off without clothes on.
Drew Daywalt's "The Day the Crayons Quit" was one of 44 books flagged for review in August that was later retained. An illustration depicts a beige crayon that has lost its wrapper, becoming "naked."
Fox, who voted in favor of the book review policy, said it's an example of how implementation has deviated from the policy's intent.
"Nudity was added to the policy, but a book about a crayon with a wrapper is not nudity. That's not what was intended by the policy," she said. "If this continues, we may have to revisit the definitions of the policy."
