Schools are part of the government.

So? If the extent of the "ban" is discontinue of availability at a middle school by the authority of a local government or citizen school board in Oklahoma or some such place, it is still a very feeble form of censorship that I don't find interesting at all - just as I'm not interested in what books are or aren't available at the premises of any other local Oklahoma government department building. Anyone can just buy these supposedly banned books themselves if they want to read it. It's not comparable to books that are actually banned.

These bans probably mostly effect kids, who are probably the least likely people to be able to buy the books themselves.
