Held at Cabell County Public Library

MONTANA 1948

Challenged, but eventually retained at the Merrill (WI) High School despite some parents complaining that it is "questionable reading material for their tenth-grade students because of language, and sexual and racist themes." School leaders added it to the curriculum twelve years ago, saying it was a less controversial substitue for Catcher in the Rye. School leaders also said students have the option of reading a different book if they don't feel comfortable with the one they're assigned.
