In today's Times, a retired social studies teacher and very proud papa got in trouble at Brooklyn Tech -- fined and reprimanded, for his decision as school librarian to showcase a comic-book version of 'Macbeth' his daughter had illustrated.
Whatever one feels about illustrated classics -- some turn their nose up at anything derivative, others say any route into literature is worth celebrating -- doesn't it seem the city might have better, more urgent, or more important things to do than pursue a public-school librarian for potential conflict of interest?
