In the USA at least it's a wide array of topics that have been (often disingenuously) deemed objectionabl.
But even if a book does include sexual content, should that cause a book to be made completely unavailable to an entire school or library system in the first place? A parent wanting some control over what their own children read is understandable; giving them control over what other children (and adults at the public library level) can read is unconscionable.
No, you’re right. I should have been more specific in my comment. Typically when I hear this comment being made, the complaint is that the books are being banned from the public school system, which to me is completely fair to do because you don’t want children to be able to access books with sexually explicit content without their parents consent. And in terms of the public library, they shouldn’t be banned, but it should be like watching an R rated movie or buying an M rated game, you have to be over 18 or with an adult to be able to check it out from the library.
So basically, removed from the school system and restricted in the public library system. Buying it is up to the parents though so no restrictions there.
