If the school declines to put a book in the library, that's not a ban. If people outside the school with power over the school demand that books be removed, that's a ban.
The groups demanding books be removed are often not even parents of children in the school. It external parties driving this stuff.
- frumplestlatz 4mo agoRemoving a book from the library is not a ban any more than a publisher rejecting a manuscript is a ban. Declining to provide a book is not the same as prohibiting the possession, use, or distribution of a book. As for “external parties”, schools in the US are public institutions.
