Headline: National Review
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the verb “ban” as “to prohibit especially by legal means” or “to prohibit the use, performance, or distribution of” something.

A couple of weeks ago, before the start of another school year, I found myself standing in the middle of the stacks in our high school library, my heart sinking. I had come in search of five books that I needed to read to make the final determination about whether they would remain on the shelves for our students or be boxed up and stored in my office, not to be seen by the students under penalty of law.
The one book that especially pained me was “Friday Night Lights” by H.G. Bissinger.
