ELEM: objections to The Golem (Caldecott version)

[Johanna Halbeisen <johanna.newsong@RCN.COM>]

I was reading the Caldecott winner The Golem to a fourth grade.
Someone was videotaping in the school for a district video and caught
just a part of it.  The super saw it and questioned my use of it.
Apparently the objection had to do with the violence and the explicit
religion.  I was told it was inappropriate for fourth graders.
Anyone had any problems with this book?  Or thoughts on problems of
this sort??

Thanks!
Johanna
