My favorite example of this was actually from my middle school days. We read Romeo and Juliet from our textbook in class, and I hated it. In the course of getting ready for a test I read over the Cliff Notes on the play as well.

It turns out they were cut from the middle school version because they were considered too bawdy for us.
