I did some digging on the example included on this page concerning [=McMinn=] County Tennessee banning \\\'\\\'Maus.\\\'\\\'. I found this transcript of the meeting minutes. https://www.wate.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/42/2022/01/Called_Meeting_Minutes_1-10-22.pdf . While they use the word \\\"ban\\\" in the transcript, and they do decide to remove the book from the 8th grade curriculum in 2026, the fact that it was left available in the school library and maintained as an available part of the curriculum for 9th grade classes of this county dulls the point a lot. While it is not mandatory to be taught, this county\\\'s 9th grade English classes uses the Pearson \\\"My Perspectives\\\" English Language Arts curriculum, which individual teachers can create customizable teaching plans from. I checked, and \\\"My Perspectives\\\" still does contain \\\'\\\'Maus I\\\'\\\'. https://assets.pearsonschool.com/asset_mgr/current/201548/myPerspectives%20Trade%20Book%20List.pdf

Given that Maus is scheduled to still be taught by one of the two high schools within this county, and it is not going to be removed the the school libraries available to 8th graders in this county, is it still considered enough of a ban for this page?
