A Texas school district is demanding teachers and librarians remove copies of the graphic novel version of "The Diary of Anne Frank" from classrooms and library shelves.The graphic novel was part of a list of books previously approved by book committees in Texas' Keller Independent School District last year. However, new school board members elected in May have created new guidelines for acceptable books and have ordered that all previously challenged books come off shelves once again.Jennifer Price, director of curriculum and instruction at Keller ISD, sent an email to teachers and librarians on Tuesday notifying them that they had a day to remove all the "challenged" books from school shelves.
