Several posters here have written that parents have a right to decide what their children can read. In my opinion, children have a right to information, and their right should weigh heavier than the parents' right to restrict information.
We should trust schools and librarians to determine which books are suitable for which ages. The damage if some kids read books that's too advanced for them is minimal compared to the damage kids suffer from being kept in ignorance about how bodies work, what sex is, and other topics that typically get targeted by bans.
