Let's get started with religious texts then.
malicious compliance
It's already happened in Utah, were Bibles were temporarily banned in school libraries until ~~courts~~ the school board invented an exception to return them. These laws were never designed to be honesty and neutrally applied, and it's a grave mistake to assume otherwise.
The courts did not return them. The school board did. The same shits that said certain books were pornographic determined that a text (Bible) with worse stuff in it was fine.
According to that school board:
Religious books with gay sex = fine.
Other books with gay characters= not fine
Edited! Thank you for the correction. I was clearly too tired when I posted.
Well yeah they were never meant to be neutral
