That dwepends on what you find inappropriate. I don't think so.

They seem to want to remove any books that reference rape - as if school kids never encounter sexual assault.
I've read several of these books, and there are definitely tough situations in them. Maybe not all kids can handle them, but that shouldn't mean the rest can't learn about the seedier side of life. This ultra protection of kids doesn't benefit them in the long run.
That being said, I would find these books appropriate for high school students in a school library, but possibly not for younger ages.

Just read that the Utah man who was killed by the FBI pointed a . 357 at the agents Ave that's why they used deadly force
Only in wishing you would post more in here.

Newest "anti-woke" tantrum: Right-wingers don't think kids of different races can be friends
A bizarre racist outburst at a Texas school board isn't an isolated event — it's part of a national pattern
Considering how rapidly the right's "war on woke" is expanding, it was perhaps inevitable: Self-identified "mama bears" on a Texas school board are angry that a classroom had a poster showing people of different races holding hands.
At issue? A poster that seemed to imply that interracial friendship is possible.
"Dungan referred to a first grade student whose parent claimed they were so upset by a poster showing hands of people of different races, that they transferred classrooms."
But Dungan was backed up by another trustee, Misty Odenweller, who insisted that the depiction of uh, race-mixing was in some way a "violation of the law." The two women are part of "Mama Bears Rising," a secretive far-right group fueling the book-banning mania in Conroe and the surrounding area. At least 59 books have been banned due to their efforts.

Reminds me of the "Moms of Liberty" group. Which I've seen people hilariously call "Hags for Hitler".
You put one little Hitler quote on your website, and people get all upset over nothing.

I’ll readily admit I’m a little surprised by your sentiment, but I’ll still have to decline. Nothing personal, just a me thing. Don’t think it’s entirely healthy for me, I obsess over things. Hope all is well in your life.

Mate some of the **** that has gone on in my workspace around this stuff would make your head spin. In my previous job, hours were consumed around this nonsense.
Be whatever the **** you want to be, don't expect me to care
