There are a ton of reasons for why Of Mice and Men was banned. It has a lot of cursing and swearing, tons of violence, and a disturbing ending. But there are so many more than just that; take a look here for even more: http://www.shmoop.com/intro/literature/john-steinbeck/of-mice-and-men.html

Answer 3

'Of Mice and Men' by John Steinbeck has been banned in various places and times since its publication in 1937. Some instances include: it being banned in Ireland in the 1950s due to its perceived "obscenity," and being banned in certain schools in the United States over the years because of its language and racial slurs.

Answer 4

It was banned in Ireland in 1953, and I can't find any record of that ban being rescinded. Dozens of city and school libraries have banned this book at various times since the 1970s and citizens have challenged its inclusion on schools' required reading lists in dozens of other localities. The latest challenge that I am aware of came as recently as 2003 in Normal, Illinois

Because it had excessive cursing.

Answer 9
