Most high school students
are, by law, defined as minors (children). It looks to me like these books were basically pornographic. (I found and quickly scanned through one of the Sarah J. Mass books, and it's something I wouldn't read and definitely something I would
not want my under age child to read.) The new law in Utah bans these books in school libraries for "Objective sensitive material."
"Objective sensitive material" is defined under the law as an instructional material that constitutes pornographic or indecent material, which is further defined in Utah law as depicting or describing sex or nudity while also lacking "serious value" for minors.
Parents have the right to decide what books they believe are inappropriate for their children.
Would you condone school libraries carrying magazines like Playboy, Hustler or Penthouse? What's the difference if it's in pictures or descriptions?
