Librarians and schools have always been able to curate their collections as they see fit. The issue here is the state is now getting directly involved which has very little precedent since the Red Scare.

Oh I see now. You are describing the ongoing laws which restrict minors from viewing certain content. You are calling this ‘book banning’.

Yeah, no.

So the correct framing is, "Top Books Recently Deemed Age-Inappropriate For Minors".

Either it's high schoolers and below in the comments here, or it's histrionic adults who identify with the same.

Librarians culling collections by any arbitrary criteria = good, fine. (We even have examples of all books prior to 2000 being mass deleted!)

Parents (customers) lobbying school administrators about what should be in the school library = bad, evil.
