This doesn't match the headline. The committee is specifically formed to ban books, and banning books is what's no longer allowed.

I knew there was book banning involved.

Yeah it's bs. It's been big news a couple of months ago.

I see it's a local site.

It's funny. I'm in New York and conservatives here seldom try any book bans. I realized it's not that they don't live here, it's that publishing is a major business in this area and they don't want to piss off potential donors.
