Regardless of your downvotes the fact remains that not including certain books and/or removing them based upon community petition is more democratic than keeping them in the library against the wishes of the community. A minority’s complaints doesn’t always overrule the majority’s when both sides are fully capable of petitioning for their position and having it implemented.
As a reader of literature I don’t like the current basis of the effort to remove books, but I accept it as part of our democratic system; it’s better than a dictate that you must keep certain books in the library.
