The Catcher in the Rye is the latest victim of Red Tide in Maine:
I could easily be wrong, but I think a few years ago this would not have been newsworthy, or even happened.
Sounds like kooky-fringe to me. I mean, the 14 year-olds this one woman is trying to protect from exposure to Salinger's "controversial" writing are going home, flipping on their X-boxes, shooting, killing, bashing.... then settling in to watch some TV... Ahhh, television.
Now, Maine is a Kerry state, but I think the national tide is strong enough to influence the school board and the media. This story doesn't deserve the attention.
