Carrie has a graphic scene in the locker room shower, involving a naive girl, frightened by her first period, going into a panic and being assaulted and mocked by her classmates. There is underage sex, violence and a lot of cursing. It's theme deals with religion in a controversial manner, the title character is tormented by her peers and her teachers alike, and in the end, she takes her horrible vengeance by slaughtering and incinerating everyone at her high school dance. Any more questions?

According to Robert Grumbine

http://www.radix.net/~bobg/books/banned.1.html

Carrie was considered to be trash and harmful to young girls because the book has lots of violence and abuse. It may still be considered as witchcraft and has sexual scenes that is not for immature people to read.

When one of Stephen King's books ends up on a banned book list it is usually due to sex, and violence. Most public school systems are also bothered by things of a darker nature, like a demonic car.

According to an anecdote in his nonfiction book On Writing, he was inspired to write the story that became Carrie after finding a used feminine hygiene product while cleaning up a woman's bathroom during a summer job.

To continue the story, his wife (fellow author Tabitha King) fished the first draft of the first chapter out of the garbage, and convinced Stephen to continue working on it. He did so, and the rest is history.

Well, I imagine it was banned because it could serve as inspiration for future school shooters or bombers, seeing as the whole book revolves around how Carrie exacts revenge upon her classmates. I've never read it, but I've heard it is very provocative and judging by the original movie, I'd have to agree.
