From CNN---

"The Wentzville school board voted 4-3 last month to remove permanently "The Bluest Eye" by the late renowned novelist Toni Morrison from school shelves as well as digital access, according to school board documents. A motion to fully restrict the Morrison book argued it contained graphic content such as pedophilia, incest and rape, the lawsuit shows."


"According to the lawsuit, the other books removed from the school district's libraries are: "Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic Paperback," by Alison Bechdel; "All Boys Aren't Blue," by George M. Johnson; "Heavy: An American Memoir," by Kiese Laymon; "Lawn Boy," by Jonathan Evison; "Gabi, A Girl in Pieces," by Isabel Quintero; "Modern Romance," by Aziz Ansari; and "Invisible Girl," by Lisa Jewell."

In that case, why don't they ban the Bible???
