I agree with you, to an extent. There's something to be said about availability and promotion of books though.
If I walk into the library at high school, I shouldn't find 20% of the books promoting trans ideology, 20% of the books promoting anti-Jesus theories and 20% of the books being erotica (porn). Should everyone ultimately have access to these books? Yes, absolutely but that's not the problem. The problem is the availability and promotion of certain books.
It's debatable. Lolita is a pro-pedo book, but it's widely considered a masterpiece. 100 days of sodom is pro... everything, yet it was written in a way that makes the book even more interested (guy was locked at the bastille, though the manuscript had been destroyed, etc.).
TBF all books should be allowed and there shouldn't really be any censorship.

I hate it when I see a headline about censorship or 'book banning", when really it is the taxpayers saying they won't pay for it in a public library.
