Won't somebody think of the children?

|

In a shocking exposé, a Maine couple announces that schools are scheming to teach young people, actually going so far, in some cases, as to use books:

"They see it as, they say, 'Hey, it's a book, let's expose the kids to it, and see what they learn from it,' " said Minnon, who with his wife operate [sic] a greenhouse on Route 202 in Lebanon.

The Minnons, parents of a first-year student at Noble High School, object to his class's study of The Catcher in the Rye. Not satisfied with the school's provision to allow their son to study another book, the Minnons are attempting to prevent the entire first-year literature class from studying Salinger's classic.
