Is George Orwell's "1984" still required reading in schools?

Question

For those that don't know "1984", it was Published in 1948 and set thirty-six years in the future, 1984 is George Orwell's dark vision of the future. Written while Orwell was dying and based on the work of the Russian author Yevgeny Zamyatin, it is a chilling depiction of how the power of the state could come to dominate the lives of individuals through cultural conditioning. This apocalyptic satire shows with grim conviction how Winston Smith’s individual personality is wiped out and how he is recreated in the Party’s image until he does not just obey but even loves Big Brother.

Are Teachers still using this text or are we now living what Orwell predicted?

Answer 1

I hope so.

We are getting closer and closer under the guise of "national security".

The government gives us "doublespeak" and we start wars to get people to feel patriotic.

Sound frightenly familiar
