Why was "Catcher in the Rye" censored in schools?
<|assistant|>
In the 1950s and 1960s, certain elements in "Catcher in the Rye" were considered inappropriate for teenagers and thus it was censored in schools. Specifically, Holden Caulfield's profanity, sexual references, and references to risky drug use were deemed offensive and thus removed from most school curriculums.
