I'm trying to figure out if you're in the American school system and if you are how a book like that is allowed when books like The Catcher in the Rye have opponents.

Could be private school that managed to slip it by the parents.

Maybe.

Could be they were told to pick a book fitting certain criteria.

And the teacher never checked it?

nayrt, but that's how I ended up reading a couple books for reports I strongly suspect would not have been approved by the teachers if they had been checked, despite being in the school libraries (The Confessions of Nat Turner in 7th grade, and Huxley's Island in 8th, the latter if only for the cover the (high school) library copy had, iirc:

. Not super-scandalous, but it was in a small town pre-Internet, and definitely got comments from the other students who saw...).

That's actually really hilarious. Thank you for telling me that this is a thing.

Different schools, different PTAs, probably.

I suppose so.

Book bannings/censorship are done on county-by-county basis. There isn't a national school board making these decisions.

I know, I guess I just think of all school boards as very conservative.

Eh, I think it depends where they are. The school board in my hometown, for example, is very liberal, or at least it was when I was in school. Nothing was banned. In fact, part of our curriculum was learning about book banning and how bad and wrong it is.

Technically, so was mine. It's just a stereotype I have in my head anyway. It's stupid but it's there.

Yea, the extent of which was a poster in the library, on the door behind the alarm scanner thingies.

In 9th grade our lit teacher had us read a book where a 14-year old boy gets coerced into sex by his teacher's wife and it got pretty explicit. Everyone's reaction was D:

Huh and here I got Germinal. Somehow I think you got the worse deal.

The thing that really made us go DDDD: was that it was apparently semi-autobiographical.

...You win the "horrible things we had to read in school" award.

9th grade??? what

I guess they do things differently in French schools. It was for our French lit class.

I went to an American public school and we also read this. And some other books that had more explicit or controversial stuff than Catcher in the Rye. It probably depends on the school district.

Yeah, so everyone's been saying. It's weird how our school system works.

idk, I live in Texas and I still had some reasonably explicit books assigned to me in highschool. The whole school even had an entire week dedicated to how dumb censorship is

I come from a very liberal schooling system. It's just that I see so much dumb censorship even in the face of anti-censorship stuff that I tend to forget that sometimes schools don't mind giving kids more adult stuff.

I had to read that book in high school. It was a private, Catholic, all-girls school. That would have been back in the 1990's.

I was always shocked at the content that ended up on the reading lists.
