While I can see the logic to an extent for public libraries, it still makes sense to limit what kind of books (or other works) are allowed in schools, especially if the content might not be appropriate for the ages of children that attend them.

I concur. Obscene materials shouldn't be in public school libraries
I'll have to agree with the opposition to this bill, obscene material should not be in school libraries. The bill is too vague and vast.
Ultimately, that is a determination for teachers and librarians to make. Nobody is saying we should stock elementary schools with porn. Politicians have shown that they do not possess the skills to judge what is truly age-appropriate, as evidenced by the fact that the vast majority of books banned for "explicit descriptions" are not even arguably pornographic. (Nobody gets off reading the Holy Bible). If we can't trust school librarians to decide what should be in a library, why do we even have them?
All this bill does is ban governments from banning certain books. It doesn’t require that elementary schools stock
50 Shades of Grey.
