What the fuck? I would be interested to know exactly what "JFK/Reagan thing" you are talking about.
I read it in school too, but I know there's been a lot of controversy about teaching it for really dumb reasons... puritanical idiots flipping out over the vaguest mention of sex and a few very mild examples of coarse language. The kind of people who want to ban this book are the kind of people who would love to ban any book that doesn't have the words "holy" and "bible" in the title. If they were to read, say, Of Mice and Men, it would probably kill them.
