CS, you may not be aware, but "The Jungle" was a work of fiction, a novel, and is not history. In fact, it is a novel written by an open socialist openly promoting socialism. It is a propaganda piece. I cannot think of one reason it should be in a US school, other than if it had some great literary value which I can't recall anyone claiming.
It is historical in the sense that it influenced history, but the contents of the book can't be considered history anymore than the contents of a Tom Clancy novel.
