Wow! Sure looks like a we-have-to-add-a-few-other-titles-to-the-list-so-it-doesn't-look-like-we're-starting-a-Sara-J-Mass-vendetta situation to me!

Kids still have access to these books from their public libraries or several out-of-state libraries via Books Unbanned

I really like Oryx, my favourite Atwood book by far. But it's not children's book, it's very far from it. If censorship is needed for it to be removed for school libraries, then perhaps the problem is not censorship, but those that put it into school libraries in the first place.
