It has something to do with a work of Literature standing the test of time and obviously having something to say to succeeding generations.Unfortunately, that is not the topic.
Suitability for reading lists in high schools is the subject.

The criteria for suitability should be those I had stated earlier. What others would you propose? Moral instruction? This isn't a Sunday school class. There is a lot of great writers with who's world view I disagree.

This reminds me of when one of Alice Walker's books was removed from the California high school required reading list.
She was furious and repeatedly accused the schools of "censorship."
