If only these were banned and not required reading in every liberal curriculum. (media.scored.co)

To be fair, I thought Lord of the flies and Catcher in the rye were pretty cool.

If I am ever stranded in an area that is isolated from adults and lawless, I am going to be just like Jack Merridew, but even moreso.

But is Lord of the Flies banned? It was required reading when I was in high school and now my son is also reading it...

The definition of "safe edgy".

I said this in the thread but:

All it takes for a book to be considered a banned book is one school in the middle of nowhere to ban it.

Lord of the flies has "muh heckin ebil violence" so I suppose it may have gotten banned by one pearl clutch school meanwhile all other schools have it.

My school had the Asoiaf books next to middle schooler comics, such as Bone. 🤣

There's a real-life Lord of The Flies situation that, predictably, went nothing like the novel.

Because all the children were male.
