Then what would count as a book banning in a school? Nobody picks the books at random, there's always a justification. I think if the book is removed against the wishes of the librarian, that's an irregular ban. >But clearly there exist some books that dont belong in a children’s library. The article points out there are "regular" reasons for bannings, and they didn't include those books: "They are supplemental to and fall outside of the standard book exclusion process (e.g. standard exclusions prevent books that promote violent, hateful, or 'mature/17+' topics from being placed on school bookshelves)." Besides, the article then points to the disproportionate number of books removed for (1) "violent content" when it's about political resistances versus military violence, and (2) "sexual topics" when it's about non-heterosexual relationships versus heterosexual. I've never heard of a book removed because it mentions a kid had a mom and a dad. There's obviously a motive besides protecting the children from violent or sexual content.
