Persepolis is an important classroom tool for a number of reasons. (For details, see CBLDF Rises to Defense of Persepolis.) Parents, teachers, and First Amendment advocates protested the ban, and as a result - while still pulled from 7 th grade - Persepolis is currently under review for use in grades 8-10. The autobiographical graphic memoir Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi was pulled from Chicago classrooms this past May by Chicago Public Schools CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett due to “inappropriate” graphic language and images, specifically, scenes of torture and rebellion.
In our first column, we’ll take a closer look at Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. In this column, we will examine books that have been targeted by censors and provide teaching and discussion suggestions for the use of such books in classrooms. Welcome to Using Graphic Novels in Education, an ongoing feature from CBLDF that is designed to allay confusion around the content of banned books and to help parents and teachers raise readers.
