Anne Frank Center opposes
federal court ruling in Tenn.
NEW YORK (JTA)—The
Anne Frank Center here has
joined the mounting national
protest against a recent federal
court ruling that upheld the right
of a group of Christian funda
mentalist parents in Greeneville,
Tenn., to keep their children out
of the local public school when
“The Diary of Anne Frank,”
among a long list of other books,
was read in classrooms as part of
the curriculum.
The decision by Judge Tho
mas Hull on Oct. 24 that the par
ents had the right to protect their
children from what they consider
“Godless” influences and teach
them to read at home, shocked
academic, legal, publishing and
religious circles all over the coun
try.
“The Diary of Anne Frank,”
along with such classics as “The
Wizard of Oz,” was found objec
tionable by the parents because
they stress humanitarian values
and deem all religions to be of
equal value, anathema to the
religious right.
At a press conference at The
Netherlands Club here Oct. 30,
the Anne Frank Center stated
that it “joins with national and
international leaders to condemn
attempts to ban ‘The Diary of
Anne Frank’ and other books
from public schools and librar
ies. The center calls for the reaf
firmation of the ‘Diary’ as a vital
tool for education and under
standing.”
Joining in the appeal were W.
Thomas Osborne, U.S. Director
of the Anne Frank Foundation;
the Hon Joop Den Uyl, former
prime minister of The Nether
lands; Sen. Alfonse D’Amato (R-
N.Y.); Mayor Edward Koch of
New York; Bishop Philip Cou
sin, president of the National
Council of Churches; Rabbi Marc

Johanna Reiss, author of “The
Upstairs Room,” a book about
her own experiences as a Jewish
child hiding in Holland during
the war, said,“l wonder if our
children are not supposed to know
there really was a World War II.”
She said her book has been
removed from libraries in the
South.
Osborne observed, “The mes
sage of Anne Frank...has lifted
her up as a symbol of one among
millions, and as an innocent child
among the worst censorship . . .
the content of her message (is)
that she sees goodness in
humanity.”
Osborne added, “America is
not a Christian nation. That’s a
dangerous proposition for anyone
to put forth. America is a safe
haven for Christian believers and
people of all faiths . . .”
