Really just pulled from public schools and libraries.
Comment on How are Book Bans Constitutional?

They’re not banning you from selling, buying, or reading the book.
They’re creating policies for which books various government institutions can use tax money to buy and make available.
They just happen to be targeting books that recognize the existence of minorities.

They are banning you from owning those books.
Pride event canceled because they were going to give away banned books

This is a school district not renting space at the school to a non-profit that intends to distribute the books. That’s a problem, and I expect (and hope) they’ll win their discrimination lawsuit. The same thing happened to the after school Satan club. But framing it as “banning you from owning those books” doesn’t seem honest.

Yeah, this looks like a procedural issue.
I’d guess that the district was looking for a reason and found this violation of their procedures to deny the space as an excuse. There’s a chance that the lawsuit exposes some messeges or emails that reveal the true intention.

what’s far scarier is the revisionist history being pushed in many states and school districts.
