A Tennessee school board voted to pull Art Spiegelman's "Maus" – an award-winning graphic novel about the Holocaust – from the county's eighth-grade language arts curriculum, citing eight instances of profanity and one image of a nude woman.
The 10-0 vote by McMinn County Board of Education was originally made on January 10 but is just now garnering national attention. The decision, first reported by The Tennessee Holler, comes amid a nationwide GOP-led push to purge hundreds of books dealing with themes of race, sex, and gender from K-12 library shelves.
