The anti-semitic Mcminn County School board just voted to ban Art Spiegelman’s Maus from all of its schools, citing the inclusion of words like “God Damn” and “naked pictures” (illustrations) of women.
Sigh. I’m really exhausted, folks.
If you haven’t read Maus and are curious about it given all of this news, consider ordering it from a local comic book store. They’ve all had a rough couple of years.
saw someone on the dash say that at this point theyre just going to buy maus if they see it in stores bc they “dont feel comfy” pirating such an important book. and like dude art spiegelman himself explicitly said, during that zoom conversation he had w chattanooga jewish federation like 2 days ago, that he wants libraries to use donated old copies of maus instead of buying new ones bc he quote “doesnt need the money”…. feel free to pirate maus here
I recently read the graphic novel, “Maus,” by Art Spiegelman. It’s very sad but I think it’s important to read it. Being banned, especially just for brief nudity, is outrageous.
