...I've yet to come across a high school student who hadn't been exposed to Arthur Miller's The Crucible. I read it in 10th grade, as did everyone in my high school, as did everyone in the district. Everyone teaches Arthur Miller.

LAKE STEVENS - The nature of God will no longer be part of an atheist teacher's American literature class at Lake Stevens High School.
Gary McDonald, 60, said he had no intention of swaying students' religious beliefs during a lesson last month . . .

"Do they mention he wrote for the USSR under an assumed name?"
Can you provide a link to support this claim? Even if he did, would that undermine the quality of his writing?
I was exposed to him. Out teachers fawned over Miller. A great man. I am surprised, considering the documentation we now have from the Soviet archives and Venona transcripts, that he is still taught.
Oh Noes!! He was trying to make them think analytically about their religion! The Horror!!evelenties11!!

I'm kinda curious now, is there anyone who attended a public school and didn't read The Crucible at some point?

Not everyone.
What's your source that he wrote under a pen name in the Soviet Union ?
Maybe they tell the truth about him today. Do they mention he wrote for the USSR under an assumed name? That the CPUSA was not an indigeous American political movement but directed and heavily funded by the chekisty? That those accussed of collaboration with one of the worst regimes the world has ever seen were, in fact, guilty of collaboration and did work against their own country?
