J.D. Salinger's 1951 novel "Catcher in the Rye" was censored in some schools because of its content, which some judged as unsuitable for younger readers. Censorship of the book has included removing or altering passages that describe events such as physical injury, loss of virginity and explicit language. Censors have also been concerned about certain themes like teenage pregnancy and drug use.
