In 1973, the Drake, ND School Board ordered 32 copies of Slaughterhouse-Five burned. Vonnegut wrote a letter to the town, which can be read in its entirety if you visit the above link.
Like Huck Finn, since Slaughterhouse-Five has been published, it has been heralded as well as highly criticized, and even often times on a local level, banned.

A British newspaper, The Guardian, wrote an article about Scroggins editorial here.
