1981 was 42 years ago. The political climate at the end of the Carter administration was totally different to be used in this context. Besides, the reason why this book was not recommended for school-age children had nothing to do with its message, but only with its style:

"Despite its importance as a dystopian classic and its prominence within popular culture to the present day, 1984 is a commonly challenged book in school libraries because of objections to its content. The book features violent acts and explicit sexual themes. Scenes such as Winston's fantasizing about raping and killing Julia, the sexual relationship between Winston and Julia outside of marriage, or the graphic tortures threatened in Room 101 (such as Winston having his face chewed off by rats) are enough to get the book repeatedly challenged by concerned parents who believe the book is too mature for their children to read even within a classroom setting"

I can name dozens of books, starting with some of the classics by Mark Twain or Harriet Beecher Stowe that are shunned in todays classrooms for their message, which is not consistent with woke historical revisionism of todays curriculum.
