How does a “book ban” in a school work? The school is presumably only going to have a limited set of books. If I wanted to ban a book I’d just make it seem like a resource reorganization. “Oh we’re just focusing more on educational content around mathematics. These trans books will come around in a later reorg” and so on.
Is it like if you bring the book to school you’ll be sent home or something?
Thank you. That's actually quite helpful. So it affects book selection at the library but actual ownership and bringing the book to school are unaffected. I understand why the opponents of these 'bans' call them that, but it's funny that the proponents do as well. One would imagine their goals better served through deception.
My high school would pull the book from the shelf but make it still available by request. Before the start of the next school year, it would be placed back on the shelf. Typically, whoever complained the previous year would have moved on to other things by then.
