This isn't Afghanistan, this is a free country that values education and freedom of information. If someone of any age wants to read a book, that is their right regardless of the topic. Nobody is being forced to read it. It boggles my mind that there are Americans who think otherwise. What possible reason could there be for banning a book from a school library? Especially an educational book that talks about something that's been studied in academia for 30 years. "Girls Who Code" is about introducing girls to coding. What else would it be about?

Traditionally, women aren't supposed to have high powered tech careers that pay six figures. Traditionally, women are expected to have children, to be financially dependent on men and to put family before career. Learning to code isn't part of the script. Women are already more educated than men, they vote more than men and if they get into computer science they might start earning more than men too.
