Not at all.  They just believed that science fiction was all trash that
respectable people did not read.  This was a widespread belief in the
age before Star Wars.  I had a Kornbluth collection confiscated by my
English teacher at school too.

Wow, had no idea! I think my grand mother had a copy of Arthur C. Clarkes 2001, but that's the only science fiction book I have from that collection. Possibly Aniara, but I don't think it has ever been translated into english.
Sorry, I was wrong.
