The list comprises 45 books, primarily those that feature any sexual content or the inclusion of LGBTQ+ characters or topics. Each of the seven books that has been removed from Elmbrook School District libraries fits those criteria. 

The list was in part created by Jesse James, a Republican member of the Wisconsin State Assembly representing the 68th Assembly District. James, with help from constituents in his district, created the list, which he then used to try to get the books removed from school districts across Wisconsin.
