I don't even understand what this would mean for school libraries. I literally understand what it means, because it is toothless - it simply requires libraries to declare that they are against censorship. I don't understand what that declaration means for school libraries. It certainly doesn't require them to shelve donated erotic literature or the works of prominent neo-Nazis.

Questions of school library censorship have always been about age-appropriateness, or blasphemy, or antiquated common but now forbidden ideas. If not buying and not accepting donations of that material isn't a ban, then what could possibly be? If it does count as a ban, every school library now has to carry the complete works of Lyndon LaRouche?

edit: a real ban on bans in my eyes would be a state restriction on local governments passing book bans that apply to public schools and libraries. It wouldn't be aimed at the libraries themselves.

Seeing how the word “banned” is used, it means they must offer every book for loan.
