Subject: Holden is not politically correct

Someone sent along a pointer to an article in the Washington Post
about how CATCHER is being used less frequently in schools because
teachers find him too white and too privileged.
The amusing part is that most of the students interviewed for the
article talk about how they identify with Holden even though they do
not share his cultural background.
You can find the article at:

Who needs censors when we have "enlightened" teachers?
