I thought they didn't want books banned?
So we can all agree certain books should be banned, right?

Banned from the children's section of the library? Sure. Banned from general circulation? Nah. If adults wanna check out some smut let them? Problematic when you start deciding what is allowed and what is not since it is all subjective. At worst you can argue that explicit covers aren't readily visible. Or that you make an "adults only section".
I think outright pornography has no place in a library sure but it's s fine line between pornography and art so if you go too stupid on that you'll get both the dumbasses that think David is porn and the dumbasses that think gender queer is appropriate for tweens.
I've never understood the problem with marginally tasteful nudity. Like don't people see themselves in the mirror all the time? Who cares?

unfortunately all too often the attitude's "censorship's only bad because I'm not the one doing it"
