Bradbury story The Veldt stays in classroom.

The complaint began in the Land of Somewhat Normal, if a Tad Silly:

Roberts said she initially objected to swear words used in the story. The word “damn” is used in several places throughout, and Roberts felt it inappropriate to have the teacher read aloud portions of the story containing the word.

But, Roberts said, “as I read it, there were so many other concerns.”

Those included the children plotting murders of their parents and later witnessing it with “big smiles on their faces.”

“This isn’t a good way of problem-solving,” said Roberts.

And then it continues on, straight into Crazytown:

“I do think it can influence them and give them ideas on how to do this,” she said, regarding the parents’ death in the story.

Yeah, if the kids have access to that technological wonder, a magical room that can act as a portal to the African veldt.
