my 6 year old daughte came home with a reading book this weekend that I felt was very innapropriate for a frum jewis school. first of all its a book about monsters and theres some really scary pictures of dragons and dinasors in there. and it talks about a holy man who sawa monstor and theres a picture of him looking like a yoshky figure holding a cross. also a picture of a church window with mary a a cross. last week she came home with a book about a muslin family and musilim holidays. I have written a note in her homework diary saying I didnt feelit was appropriate for a frum school. my daughter told the teacher the book was scary and the teacher said dont be silly

do you think im overeacting

No, I don't thiink you are overreacting at all.
I don't know if there is a/thing the school can do about it.
maybe if enough mothers complain about it, they might do s/thing..
in our school, every book is censored before it is given out at the begginging of the year. pictures are colored with unerasable black crayon and improper words are also colored..

I dont think you're overreacting either. This does not seem like appropriate material for a frum school. Sad
