No censorship: Northville Schools refuse to remove... →
After a careful deliberation by a review committee, Northville Public Schools officials have chosen not remove the book Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl The Definitive Edition from the middle school reading options.
How repressed do you have to be to feel that Anne’s descriptions of her body are “pornographic”? Here is a young woman honestly investigating what is...

yellowribbonx:
I think that Bieber thing has irritated me so much because I only visited the Anne Frank house three weeks ago (and read her diary around the same time), so the feelings that the place and their story evokes are still pretty fresh for me.
It’s an extremely solemn, sad yet extraordinary place to…

This is what the internet does when Justin Bieber writes in the Anne Frank house guest book that he hopes she would have been a Belieber.

revolutionaryrosa:
So, about this Beiber/Anne Frank thing, I’ve got to say it’s disgusting. I mean, it’s not as if he’d said “I would have been honoured to have known her”, or “she was a brave individual”, if we strip the phrasing back to its essence, it becomes “I hope she would have thought I was great”. Utterly…

Pan Bloglodytes: Bieber was right. →
panbloglodytes:
So in case you don’t know: Justin Bieber went to Anne Frank’s house, said he hoped she’d have been a fan, and a lot of people were outraged. This put me in a bit of an awkward position: as a 25 year old who is bitter he isn’t younger, I naturally despise Bieber for his fame and success, and…
I absolutely agree that we need to remember Anne Frank not just as a gifted young...

cantfindaproper1:
Anne Frank died in the Bergen Belsen concentration camp, one of the few located in Germany, sometime in March 1945. Jews, opponents of the Nazi regime, Poles, Gypsies, homosexuals… thousands of them died in the camp. It was not a “death” camp, because it had no gas chambers. Most death camps were…

It’s so important that people remember Anne’s frustration and unhappiness and pessimism along with her optimism and ideals. Remembering all of that keeps the world from deifying her, from making her a martyr. She was a girl, maybe not like every other girl,...
