Maus Trap

It’s Holocaust Remembrance Day Yet some in Tennessee Decided their curriculum, As is, just could not be. A book Art Spiegelman did write, A graphic novel, too, Described the way his parents lived, As Jews, in World War II. The Nazis are portrayed as cats; The prisoners are mice And it depicts how those in camps All paid an awful price. The school board said their eighth grade class Should not be left to read A book with nudity ( of mice!) And swear words - no, indeed! The novel‘s won a Pulitzer But ignorance must rule, Preventing history from being Taught today in school.
