That is the same as most states passing these laws and they ended up with parents that were not from the towns making the complaints.  And were talking LOTS of complaints because LOTS of individuals have LOTS of different ideas about what is "good" or "bad. 

That's why it was such a big deal when someone complained about the bible.

I'm personally not for banning any books from anywhere.  And I know that would lead to lots of awful books getting int he hands of people who will use them to do awful things.  But it's not something I would ever support.

Here's the thing, even if material were deemed inappropriate to be displayed on the open shelves, a parent can still check out the book for the juvenile to read if they so choose. So in reality, no books will be outright "banned".
