a.k.a. This is wrong, how can they Nazi it?
Acomi and Turk182 talk about the controversy in Tennessee where a school banned Art Spiegelman's Pulitzer prize-winning graphic novel Maus from their library. Maus, an account of his father's survival of the Holocaust, was banned and removed from their eighth grade curriculum.
The two discuss the effect this has on education and knowledge, and how they view this as an attempt to dodge guilt and responsibility. They feel that hiding the truth and pretending like events never existed results in the events repeating themselves with greater intensity. While both agree that there's an appropriate time, place, and age to introduce children to such heavy material, it still needs to be presented.
The question becomes where do you draw the line? If people decide that the Holocaust is too extreme, or too graphic, to teach and have a conversation about, what's next? All of WWII? The Civil Rights Movement? American slavery (Blacks, Asians, and Hispanics)? Vietnam? The American Civil War? Ancient Egyptian slavery? The Trail of Tears? Wounded Knee?
This isn't really about censorship. It's about the control of knowledge. If you don't know what someone is doing, then you don't know what someone is doing?
