I remember I had a high school English and writing teacher that was really smart and she taught me a lot of things about English and writing that I've never forgotten. It was during her class that I also read Brave New World for the first time. She literally said during class once that the people in the book became so brainwashed that they believed "2+2=5, 2+2=5..." she kept repeating it because that's how they tricked the characters to believe in it, and this is LITERALLY what's happening TODAY. She was SO ahead of her time and I still respect her to this day, she was a phenomenal teacher.
We read all those based books in late junior high and high school. Animal Farm, 1984, Fahrenheit 451, Brave New World. I don’t really know if kids are reading those in school today across the board.
I believe they've banned Animal Farm and To Kill a Mockingbird. Not sure about the others but I wouldn't be surprised if they're not reading them. Instead they're reading White Fragility and How to be an Ally or other nonsense.
