It's not a book ban if they're still available at the public library, any book store in town, or delivered straight to your home. Public schools cannot allow anything and everything in their libraries. Why don't we have the Muslim Quran, Christian Bible, or Penthouse magazines in schools? Not everything is for everyone.
