It's the idea that some thoughts aren't acceptable in schools that bothers me. School should be about broadening one's horizons. And quite frankly John Steinbeck sucks and I would have much rather read Catcher in the Rye or I Know Why a Caged Bird Sings than Grapes of Wrath. It would have made my learning experience more rich, but neither of those books appeared in my high school library despite being some of the best ever written.
