The school teacher was released after officials with Hamshire-Fannett independent school district said the teacher presented the “inappropriate” book to students. The graphic novel, written by Ari Folman and illustrated by David Polonsky, adapts the diary of 13-year-old Anne Frank, who wrote while hiding in an annexe in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam.
