Well that's a Texas sized load of horse shit if I ever saw one. It's a book that prominently features child murder, sexual assault, incest, misogyny, mutilation and torture, genocide, and on and on and on. If the rules were properly and equally enforced, there'd only be math, chemistry, and physics books.
Although, it'd be absolutely hilarious if someone were to drop in some leftist writings and they were forced to keep books on unionizing and its benefits, unifying against the rich and collective action, and critiques of capitalism for not fitting the criteria of books that should be banned. Ahhh well, I'm sure they'd say such books are obscene and inappropriate and promptly ban them.
