The McMinn County Board of Education announced Thursday that Maus, a Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel that depicts its characters as animals, had been removed from its eighth grade English curriculum over concerns about its “use of profanity and nudity” and depiction of “violence and suicide,” according to a statement.
