Used to teach the novel to eighth graders. It was replaced in the curriculum with something more diverse. ??

That's what I was wondering but given the replies it doesn't seem the case.
It was a school staple "read the book, watch the movie" in the 80s/90s and a general teen angst staple before the movie.
In the 90s it was #38 on the ALA Top 100 most frequently challenged and banned books.
This last decade it wasn't even in Top 100. Either schools aren't reading it anymore or things have gotten far worse to complain about.

That's when I read it. Hard to imagine it was just several years removed from the movie.
