Not clear what grades participate in the library. Is it up to 8th grade?
Is this appropriate for your 14 year old?

The most banned and challenged books 2010-2019
Captain Underpants is No. 2! - LOL, My son used to love that series.
The fact that 1984 is on the list is funny. Apparently, people felt that it promoted communism, which gives you an idea of the sophistication of who we're dealing with here.
The morons in Oregon...well, what can you say?

Who was the librarian/activist that he was speaking to?
-
I listened to a NYT podcast discussion with Emily Drabinski, who is the president of the American library Association, and a librarian professor. America's top librarian, is how she's billed in the discussion. One of her first points is that parents shouldn't be so sure about what their kids should or shouldn't read. Basically, her perspective is that anybody with conviction about what is or is not right for children, should not have that conviction.

Isn’t she the one that has caused 4-5 states to pull out of the association and is an avowed communist?

She's a proud Marxist lesbian.

Cool that’s my fetish.
You get off on having women explain for hours why they don't want to have sex with you, and then explain that it's all your fault?

To Kill a Mockingbird was "banned?"
Why yes. Yes it was.
The iconic novel "To Kill A Mockingbird" is among five books on race that have been temporarily removed from the required reading list in the Burbank Unified School District after complaints from parents.
Among many issues, several of the books include the "N" word.
Carmenita Helligar raised a red flag when her daughter, the only Black student in her class, was confronted and berated by another student after studying one book.
"The boy said, 'I now know how to count you. And he started saying, 'One, 'N-word,' two 'N-word,' three 'N-word,' just to make her feel bad," said Helligar, who is a member of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee.
The district says the five books are still available in schools, but they are not on the list of core books that all students must read.
So, not "banned" but removed from required reading because they were offensive.
"Lube" "Ass" etc are not, apparently, offensive.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
