Where the Wild Things Are, a movie by Spike Jonze, based on the original novel by Maurice Sendak, was released in 2009. Upon the release of the film a Times critic wrote that, “The beasts are recognizable from Sendak’s pages, but Jonze gives them names and distinct personalities that connect to aspects of Max’s psyche and to the people he loves.

Sex. Politics. Religion. The big three: a work of literature is often considered controversial because of its statement about or use of these topics. What makes these and other areas so touchy in the classroom? Why do some parents and concerned community members want controversial materials out of the classroom?
