Restricting arguably age inappropriate material in grade school libraries and classrooms is absolutely not the same as restricting adults. The exact boundaries

Restricting arguably age inappropriate material in grade school libraries and classrooms is absolutely not the same as restricting adults. The exact boundaries of appropriateness for a given age group and the wisdom behind them-- and their mootness relative to parents seeming inability to keep their children off social media-- is surely a matter for parents to debate, but it is just not equivalent to or a slippery slope to doing so for adults. The times does a disservice to the cause of freedom to publish this editorial conflating them. They are crying wolf. And as the editorial claims, "tends to create demand for the works it targets" -- all sounds fine to me.
