What criteria were used in the age-appropriate determination? Are there plans to apply those criteria systematically to every book in the school library? Etc. Singling out a single book -- a single book that the SC says you're not supposed to single out SO CUT IT OUT GUYS -- is a problem.

But three books were selected for specific review, and one was specifically allowed to stay in the curriculum! Doesn't this disprove the idea that one single religious person was making the decision? If he was, that book would be gone too.
However, since they were phrasing it in the article as a system-wide look at what is 'age appropriate', they damn well better start going back over every book in the library and applying those same criteria. If this isn't true, then I disagree with the entire premise upon which the decisions were made to pull the books.
