Florida bill 1069 allows parents to challenge the inclusion of books in the library, but only explicitly identifies books related to sexual preferences/conduct/etc.

The bill is all about pronouns, heterosexuality, abstinence, and getting books out of libraries on those grounds.

Inclusion != ban.

A ban would be you'd get in trouble for having the book in your possession, which isn't the case here.

Parents can sue the schools for retaining books they've challenged.

Again, you are redefining the word "ban" to suit your arguments. The use of that word within the context of the article is different.
