Im past, yes.  In the current climate, it would depend on what it was.  If
it is a book that depicts (with non-scientific illustrations) two young
boys sexually experimenting on each other, it very well might not be
removed.

If it is a boy and a girl then, yes, it probably will be.

I agree with your statements.  That said, being as racist as they are, we
should not allow them to dictate to us what is racist or not as they
obviously don't have a clue.
