My confusion might hinge on your definition of "explicitly political or religious" material.

If somebody donates a book about comparative religion, will you remove it? Why? Isn't education the key to understanding?

What about Michelle Obama's autobiography? Removed for being political? Your neighbors will miss out on learning the facts about this remarkable woman's life.
