When I was in ninth grade we read "Anna Karenina." It also has some disturbing ideas in it. But it's a great novel, with a serious moral point of view, revealing what the consequences of adultery are. "Girl Interrupted" is just plain junk. But this junk is written by a woman. "Anna Karenina" was written by a man.

A shame, isn't it? I had to read Dostoyevsy, Dumas, Scott, and most of Shakespeare on my own outside of school to discover what genius really is. These "dead white guys" (of course, Dumas wasn't exactly white) were so far beyond the *junk* I read in HS and college. Our re-educational establishment is a JOKE.
