So you're saying if a teacher decides to use a book in class that's wholly inappropriate for the age group they're teaching we should ban the teacher, not the book?

I suppose that makes sense. But if the book in question is still available in the school library for any 7 year old to read or check out isn't that still a potential problem?

Is it? Just because it's inappropriate for one age group at a school doesn't mean it's inappropriate for all age groups.

You can generally categorize the age groups present in a school by... looking at the grades served in the school. shocker.

Books are already made available to different age groups in different ways. Libraries that serve different ages put different books on different shelves. There are books on shelves young kids can’t reach, and there are books behind the counter.
