Is that something to get fired over though? There's still context missing here - assigning a non-approved book alone seems like something you reprimand someone over, not fire them. Was there something particularly egregious about that particular version of the book?

I'm not sure if you've ever read her diary, or the ORIGINAL diary, but the original non-edited version, she goes into detail about her sexuality and specifically about another girl. Her father basically ripped out/omitted pages out of shame.

Since the version the school approved was the same version just graphic novellized, you can bet a Texas school did NOT approve the original version.

Texas is a failure to their students.

If I'm understanding it correctly, this book was on the suggested reading list they sent parents. So it was unapproved but also suggested...?
