'Catcher' challenged yet again
Verbatim from the article (because I can't summarize it any better):

"Andrea Minnon of Lebanon said she had never heard of 'The Catcher in the Rye' before she learned that it was on her 14-year-old son Spencer's freshman reading list. After researching the book online with her husband, she concluded that it espouses immoral ideas that are inappropriate for freshman-age students. Now she wants it removed from the freshman curriculum."
Verbatim from Blog of a Bookslut's Michael Schaub (because I can't say it any better):
"Look, I'm not a classical music fan, but I've heard of Pachelbel's Canon. I'm not a historian, but I've heard of Charlemagne. Who the frick hasn't heard of The Catcher in the Rye?"
