Putting aside that school libraries are already curated to be age appropriate as tubemonkey pointed out and was mentioned at least once earlier in this thread, sure. But by the same token they can be made so parents opt in to the restrictions.
Of course we won’t mention any of the issues around movie ratings, like that content given an R rating in the 80s would today be given a Pg13 rating. Or that movies are designed to skirt as close to the next highest rating while not crossing the threshold for it to try and maximize the viewership.
