It’s already happened in Utah, were Bibles were temporarily banned in school libraries until courts the school board invented an exception to return them. These laws were never designed to be honesty and neutrally applied, and it’s a grave mistake to assume otherwise.

The courts did not return them. The school board did. The same shits that said certain books were pornographic determined that a text (Bible) with worse stuff in it was fine.

According to that school board:
Religious books with gay sex = fine.
Other books with gay characters= not fine
