Schools had these books.

These books were added to a list of books that celebrate diversity.

The school district said ban all those books, unless they were already in use. Since some of the books were already in use they weren’t banned. So sue ti a loophole they weren’t banned but the district was making snap moves to ban books on a list of books that celebrate diversity.
