The Pigman has remained one of the most banned books in libraries and classrooms across the country. Despite being widely considered one of the best works of young adult literature of the past half century, every year a new cohort of parents and community leaders attempt to see it removed from the curriculum. While it is impossible to be able to speculate on the motivations of every parent and group that wants to see the book removed, it is possible to draw a few broad conclusions as to what material within the text is considered especially objectionable.
As we'll see in a few moments, The Pigman covers a number of rather controversial issues that a number of parents would rather not their teenagers read about. As such, it was met with a considerable amount of opposition. This is especially true in more conservative parts of the country, such as Texas or Missouri. Often, parents voiced the concern that The Pigman was taught while other books are not.
One of the high points of the drama in The Pigman comes when John and Lorraine throw a party at Mr. Pignati's house. They do not have his permission to do so, and the party ends up becoming a destructive affair, with some of Mr. Pignati's most prized possessions being destroyed. However, it is not just the party itself. Much of that destruction took place because the characters had been consuming alcohol. Some may feel that the presence of alcohol in the story could glorify its consumption.
Further, the protagonists in The Pigman use language that many find objectionable. While John does tend to write such language with the use of various symbols to disguise what he is actually saying, the fact is that many students can figure it out quickly. Additionally, there are other words that, while not necessarily profane during the time that The Pigman was written, are still inappropriate out of context and especially inappropriate in today's more informed environment. For example, John frequently calls those with whom he disagrees 'retards'.
John and Lorraine neither come from a perfect family life in The Pigman . In fact, Lorraine's mother does abuse her, which is a point of concern for younger readers to encounter. Likewise, John is constantly arguing with his father, but that's not the most alarming thing about John's home-life. For that, we can look at the end of the book, when John's parents tell him that they will send him to therapy, but everyone knows that won't be the case. John's parents just seem to force their own desires on him, while ignoring what ultimately fulfills him.
Both John and Lorraine have instances where they have to be manipulative to get by. John is perhaps the best example of this, and is openly manipulative to everyone, including Lorraine. At one point early in the book, he comments that now he has her exactly where he wants her. He also uses this manipulation to defy his parents. On the other end of things, Lorraine is not as openly manipulative as John, but she does find herself lying to her mother on occasion in order to see Mr. Pignati. For parents weary of their children learning a merit to dishonesty, this is a point of concern.
The Pigman is a frequent object of contention among parents and community leaders who want to lessen children's exposure to negative influences. Despite the merits of the story and its place in the literary canon, this argument resurfaces frequently. According to detractors, The Pigman glorifies partying, alcohol , and manipulation while exposing students to foul language and abusive relationships.
