‘fiHi; Page 12 THE SOUTHERN ISRAELITE November 7, 1986 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 YOU THINK FINDING GOOD WORKERS IS HARD? NAH. IT'S EASY.

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 . . .” He said donations to help the Anne Frank Center can be sent to the Center at 245 East 60th Street, New York 10022.
