[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sure the library is full of books on both sides of the political spectrum.   And it’s not like they are taking about To kill a mockingbird here.  As a parent, I find it somewhat exhausting to find books for my kids that are recently published and not focused on a special category vs ethics or a god forbid good writing with a good story.  The Catcher in the Rye would have never been published now - too white - too male - too straight.  And they pulled similar shit when I was in high school we read poorly written books because they were diverse.   Look why aren’t they suggesting Invisible Man instead of this drivel?   There are many great diverse books but the ones you are describing certainly don’t sound like it.   [/quote]

[quote]Between 1961 and 1982, The Catcher in the Rye was the most censored book in high schools and libraries in the United States. The book was briefly banned in the Issaquah, Washington, high schools in 1978 when three members of the School Board alleged the book was part of an "overall communist plot."[/quote]
