Aside from some "third party" rubbish, the only (not) bans I have heard
about, or seen any information on, are groups trying to make sure that
their kids' school libraries are age appropriate for their kids' age and not
adults.

Now, I am aware of a leftist movement a few recent years back where they
protested and protested and got some Dr. Seuss books effectively banned.
Is that what you are talking about?
