Oh yeah, because we all know sexually explicit books were just all over in public school libraries. Those kids were reading so many sexual books at school libraries. It was such a problem for so many years and everyone thought it was ok until just now. And of course the only books being removed are actually explicit ones. There’s not a single one that just has to do with LGBTQ people that regressives are calling sexual because they want to equate being publicly not straight as being publicly sexual. Of course not. And of course they didn’t ban any books about racism. Nope. Never.
Yes, people are calling it a book ban. And yes, that is an apt term. They are banning books from school libraries. It doesn’t have to be a blanket nation/state wide ban to be called a ban. It’s still a ban even when you ban something from specific locations.
