And I find the article's claims hard to believe. According to the American Library Association, which tracks attempts to ban books from libraries [1]:

> The most common justifications for censorship provided by complainants were false claims of illegal obscenity for minors; inclusion of LGBTQIA+ characters or themes; and covering topics of race, racism, equity, and social justice.
