War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Enlightenment

To be honest, it's much more 1984 than Brave New World in concept, but some woman in Seattle has successfully lobbied her local school board to have Brave New World removed from the Language Arts curriculum at her daughter's school. Not satisfied with pigeonholing her own community's educational resources, she now seeks to have the book banned in the greater Seattle area, and perhaps beyond.

Her reason?

"She is Native American, and her heart started to sink as she turned the pages to find more than 30 references to "savage natives"... 'and it portrays Indian people as being savages and living on reservations,'" Sense-Wilson says.

She tried to read the book for herself.

"I was outraged when I read through the book. I had to keep putting it down because it was so hurtful," says Sense-Wilson. "It was traumatizing to read how Indian people were being depicted."

The text has a "high volume of racially offensive derogatory language and misinformation on Native Americans. In addition to the inaccurate imagery, and stereotype views, the text lacks literary value which is relevant to today's contemporary multicultural society," she wrote.

One commenter from the article linked above summed it up best, in my opinion:

The "society" in the book is a sex-crazed, drugged out, lab manufactured "people". The "savages" lived free and as humans do now. Huxley may have used native americans as his prototype but his intent wasn't to slander their culture. Actually he was wanting to glorify the fact that they (savages) still had choices in life, something that was taken away from the "civils". Something that is being taken away from us by a person who can't read past a word and see the meaning of book beyond having their feelings hurt.
