This seems improbable.

It seems even more unlikely when The Bluest Eye has been banned so often:

    The ALA placed it on the Top Ten Most Challenged Books Lists for 2006, 2014, 2013, 2020, and 2022.

    Ultimately, it became the 34th-most banned book in the United States 1990–1999, the 15th-most banned book 2000–2009, and the 10th-most banned book 2010–2019.

Can you back up this assertion at all?
