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

The book was so boring that a bunch of 4th graders decided to write one that really was controversial - something about Scrotey McBoogerballs or something.
South Park episode. That episode made me look for it
Totally. It's a great episode, this post instantly made me think of it. Now I have to read Catcher in the Rye.
