The Pulitzer Prize-winning author and cartoonist condemned a Tennessee school board decision to ban his graphic novel 'Maus.'
"That's disturbing, that's terrifying, which makes it more the more troubling if you don't want to teach it and don't want to use the tools available to discuss it," the CNN anchor said.
"They really genuinely focused, reading this 20-minute document—they totally focused on some bad words that are in the book. Like 'damn it I can't believe' that the word 'damn' would get the book jettisoned out of school on its own, but that's where the genuine focus seemed to be." "So it [the nude drawing] is seen from overhead and you can see it's a tiny image so would really have to want want to get your sexual kicks by projecting on it, it seems like a crazy place to get them," Spiegelman said.
