> Don't think pictures of Greek Statues count as "graphic oral sex". Not sure when I saw a greek statue in any school, what does this have to do with anything? > Something to get the right-leaning parents fired up to go storm the school board. This is a comment out of ignorance. If you believe people would take time out of their already busy days just because they wanna go to a school board meeting... wait... do you have kids? (I'm guessing you don't...) > "Nobody has banned books" -> Literal Book Banning https://www.ala.org/advocacy/bbooks/frequentlychallengedbook... Which (again) requires you to redefine the word "banned". You can still get all of these books. They are just not allowed in certain areas. They are still legal. You can still own them. Various private areas and some public places have chosen not to allow them or to carry them. "Banned or _challenged_". Yeah. Not banned. "Challenged". |

There are a lot of school board meeting with some very upset religious yelling. Dozens. Typically these are open to the public, and videos are online. Just search for 'angry school board meeting', they are swamped with religious parents trying to ban things, more than books. To them, they are in a religious war, and do show up at School Board Meetings.
Ownership. Yes. You can still buy things. The government is not 'banning' the selling. But that takes money, which is another form of restriction. It is a way to keep the poor, poor, away from knowledge.
The Country established Libraries to allow the free flow of knowledge so anybody could 'pick themselves up'. Not just for those that already have money.
Think you are missing "Challenged" means someone did want to 'Ban' them. People fought against it, so it simply remained recorded as a 'Challenge'. But if you stop fighting, then they win, and boom, 'Banned', that's how you get 'all-the-bad-things-from-Germany-that-we-can't-mention'.
