Have they stopped teaching literature in the UK?

British Stores Halt `Lolita' Beds
LONDON (AP) - Woolworths stores in Britain have stopped selling "Lolita" beds for young girls after a parents' organization complained because of the name's association with the famous novel about a pedophile.
...
"There aren't many people in the company, in the whole world, who know about the 'Lolita' book or films," Lim said. "There might be a few people in the country who have a problem with it, but it's just a name."
