My kid's school in Mesa pulled a book from the library and the reason on the slip made zero sense
They yanked a novel about a kid moving to a new town because one parent called it 'too sad' at a board meeting with 8 people in the room. Where's the line between a parent's complaint and what 400 other kids get to read?

The Mesa thing is the same move as when my HOA tried to ban a Little Free Library because one guy on the board thought it brought "traffic." Eight people deciding for the whole neighborhood. You see it at city council meetings too, like five people show up about a bike lane and suddenly it's gone for everyone else who never even knew it was on the agenda. It's never about how many people want the thing, it's about who bothered to complain the loudest on a Tuesday night. Small groups with free evenings keep winning over the quiet majority. And the rest of us find out after the fact.
