Original Note:
Most banned books focus on sexuality, offensive language or content deemed unsuitable for the age group, not history like the post is implying. Private schools and libraries have the authority to ban, while the government, bound by the First Amendment, cannot censor books. https://news.miami.edu/stories/2018/09/do-we-ban-books-in-the-united-states.html#:~:text=Fortunately%2C%20the%20First%20Amendment%20protects,libraries%20from%20carrying%20the%20titles.
