Thanks for engaging my extreme example on its own terms. If that's what this law actually does, I'm kind of okay with that. I trust a random librarian's judgement far more than any law passed by grandstanding politicians in order to stir up anger.

Well your trust is misplaced.

I'm not sure what your point is (or if you read my comment correctly). I definitely think that letting librarians make the decision is better than a law that bans all books with depictions of sex from all grades. I have read this specific book and I would have been on the side of allowing it in high-schools, but not junior highs. However, I can see how a reasonable person would disagree with me, and the most prurient parts of chapter 9 are no more titillating than my junior high sex-education class, which I recall as being less titillating than looking at pictures of topless women in National Geographic, and that was definitely available in the library.
