School districts curate the material in their libraries and curricula to make available the selections appropriate for the age of the students. Restricting inventory in the school library to appropriate material is not "banning" the material. It is well within the power of parents to complain to their school boards about inappropriate materials, and well within the school boards' power to decide the curricula and materials available to students on campus. There is nothing wrong with this and happens all over the country on a daily basis. In this case, it is reasonable for parents to complain about a book containing descriptions of anal sex being in a library available to teenagers. One may disagree, but that is why the school board had a public meeting to debate this issue, and the school board properly decided. Describing this as some sort of book banning or book burning is misleading and should be avoided.
