Where'd the word "ban" come into it?  No one in that article suggested 
*banning* Catcher in the Rye.  It is one thing to wrestle with what 
should be required reading and quite another to say that a book is out 
of the question because of its POV, language, or themes.  And another 
still to try to remove it from shelves entirely.

Your point that the left can also be intolerant of literary freedom is 
well taken, however.
