On January 10, 2022, the McMinn County Board of education held their monthly meeting. On the agenda was one item: to discuss the eight grade's English Language Arts Standards curriculum. While the purpose of the meeting was to discuss all the curriculum and how it’s developed, specific to the curriculum was the comic book story, "Maus," by Art Spiegelman, published from 1980 in installments, appearing in collected form in 1991. It won a Pulitzer in 1992 – the only graphic novel to receive that honor – and has sold millions of copies since and has been used as education material for decades.
