Parent complains, lobbies other soccer mom, librarians and teachers refuse to stop providing access/including them, soccer moms go to the board and the board sometimes wusses out.

Oh, and sometimes frivolous lawsuits are included.

Sort of weird though, up here in grade 7 + 8 we watched classic movies that sometimes had nudity/sex/extreme violence. I had a whole grade 12 class devoted to watching these movies; hell, we were given the choice of watching Apocalypse Now or Redux, depending upon if we wanted the nude bits included (actually, the original cut was better). If there wasn't any outspoken criticism to these, I doubt there was any towards literature. Then again, this is one of the areas where our countries differ a bit.

And look at me, I turned out just fine. Except I'm now a hetero-homo peeping tom/flasher/sexual deviant who has a fist of glory in his back room. See, I turned out alright!

edit: I'm giving odds that most of the recent bannings were in the bible belt with some in the Midwest.
