I would like to see the original email and how many books are on the list. A lot of books on book banning lists are not books that have been read by the people creating the lists. When the creator of a list applies one sentence to something like 800 books, that sentence is suspect. Defending individual books on a list is far more difficult.
Book banning as in removing books from the library shelves like they are doing here is more extremist than removing things from the curriculum.
Conservatives in the US like to be outraged by the imagined removal of Huckleberry Finn from the curriculum because the n-word is used dozens of times.
They don't seem to realize that there are many books in this world, and sometimes the books our children will read are not the same ones we read, which is fine.
