It really doesn't bother me at all. The books were not "banned." They were not even removed from the school library. They just are not TEACHING it in 6th grade. They also don't teach "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came" or "leaves of grass" so I can get over it.
I think this is an important distinction.
Maybe I'm wrong in thinking that it is the burden of the parent to ensure a child's well-rounded and moral education. Not the state.
