ShareThisCatcher in the Rye dropped from US school curriculum 07 Dec 2012 Schools in America are to drop classic books such as Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird and JD Salinger's Catcher in the Rye from their curriculum in favour of 'informational texts'. American literature classics are to be replaced by insulation manuals and plant inventories in US classrooms by 2014. A new school curriculum which will affect 46 out of 50 states will make it compulsory for at least 70 per cent of books studied to be non-fiction, in an effort to ready pupils for the workplace purge progressive thought. Books such as JD Salinger's Catcher in the Rye and Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird will be replaced by "informational texts" approved by the Common Core State Standards.

I was born & raised in UT County, UT, where my High School English teacher had to FIGHT to teach Catcher in the Rye. And I am ever-grateful that she did. It was the most profoundly life-changing book that I've ever read. Our lives are enriched and enboldened and inspired by great works of literature. To replace them with "how-to manuals," on any subject, is a travesty, and does our students a grave injustice. What is becoming of us, as a culture? This little tid-bit of bad news makes me want to cry!
