As a kid, i got attracted by the books i was told were too mature for my age. My sister was given a book at a birthday party where the main character gets sexually abused by her father. My parents hid the book when they found out. Both my sister and i I made sure to find another copy to read what all the fuss was about. 

I get your point though. I'd also would like to make sure my son reads age appropriate material. I would just like to assume schools make the right choices without delisting. Because by formalizing this procedure, the louder more conservative voices likely get the upperhand.

Naive, maybe I am :)

Parents' group calls for removal of Han Kang's 'The Vegetarian' from libraries

Depends on the context. As a parent, I would not want my kids having unsupervised access to inappropriate content, so I’d support removing such books from school libraries. I would not support removing it from public libraries entirely.

Obviously, people will debate what’s too inappropriate. Ken Arrow proved that democracy will always be hard.
