Conservative parents and Christian advocacy groups in Pennsylvania's Central Bucks School District have succeeded in removing two books from school libraries under a new book-challenge policy enacted by the Republican majority on the school district's board of directors. The policy allows parents to challenge a book in a school library if it depicts implied or actual nudity or "sexual acts" and a committee of district staff then reviews it.
