What's this?

The government isn’t engaging in censorship if parents don’t think a

specific book includes passages not appropriate for an age group. Book was still published, and is presumably available in plenty of places. The government is not censoring the book if one library pulls it from their shelves.

So, there’s no limit on what should be available in a specific school library? Any and every book ever published should be theoretically available in a school library, regardless of content?
