 The Outsiders </em>is a novel by S. E. Hinton set in Tulsa\, Oklahoma in 1
 965.&nbsp\;It was quite a controversial book when it was released\, and it
  remains so today. In 1986\, it was challenged in South Milwaukee\, Wiscon
 sin for its inclusion on an eighth grade reading list because &ldquo\;drug
  and alcohol abuse was common and virtually all the characters were from b
 roken homes.&rdquo\; It is ranked #43 on the American Library Association&
 rsquo\;s Top 100 Most Challenged Books of 1990-2000 and has been banned fr
 om some schools and libraries because of its portrayal of gang violence\, 
 underage smoking and drinking\, strong language\, slang usage\, and expos&
 eacute\; on family dysfunction. In 1992\, it was challenged in the Boone\,
  Iowa School District because the book was seen as glamorizing smoking and
  drinking and uses excessive violence and obscenities. It was challenged i
 n 2001 at George Washington Middle School in Eleanor\, West Virginia due t
 o objections to the focus on gangs and gang fights.\" (R. Wolf Baldassarro
