Can someone explain why it’s so controversial? I bought it at a yard sale a while back but finally got around to reading it recently (I have a literal mountain of books that need to be read) and it wasn’t bad but I know it was banned at one point in time. Or maybe it’s like when my grandmother told me that Elvis swiveling his hips was scandalous and when I first saw footage of Elvis it seemed tame compared to the rap videos that were out at the time or the early 50s R&B song 60 Minute Man

3 day’s suspension? Wow. What did your parents say?
Kinda sounds like what happened when my mom caught me in the store when I was 13 looking at magazines with women in bikinis. We got home and she was upset and telling my dad, and my dad quietly said “at least he is looking at women” and my mom dropped it. I guess they had been concerned about me. Lol
