I teach it every year in MA. We do a bunch of background beforehand with a digital scavenger hunt about the 60s, the author, greasers, etc . The kids get really jazzed when they find out it’s been banned or challenged in some school districts. Gets even more buy in. I’ve never one parent had push back ob this book, most of them have read it themselves and loved it. They bond with their kids while we read it.
