Over fifty years after its publication, J.D. Salinger‘s The Catcher in the Rye still often sparks controversy, and appears regularly on the American Library Association’s Most Frequently Challenged Books. The latest fuss is occurring at Noble High School in North Berwick, Maine, where Andrea Minnon says “she had never heard of” the book until her fourteen-old-son Spencer was assigned to read it. As Jen Rish reports in a Portland Press Herald story, Minnon promptly went online to research it “with her husband” and “she concluded that it espouses immoral ideas that are inappropriate for freshman-age students.” However, even though Noble High students are allowed to opt out of reading books they disagree with, Minnon wants the book banned from the entire freshman curriculum. The school district is required to form a committee to review the complaint, and will make a recommendation to the school board in January. “The book will not be used in classes until the board has made its final decision.” Meanwhile, Fish reports, “Some of Spencer’s classmates said the controversy has piqued their interest in the novel.” As for the language that upsets Minnon, “we hear worse things in the hallways of school,” says one of the students. “I don’t think one parent should be able to ruin it for the whole freshman class.”
