That is an inflammatory statement thinly disguised as a question. Addressing "age inappropriate" issues is not synonymous with "book banning".
The problem is that book banners will often site age appropriateness as the reason for the bans they want. And conversely, those wanting children to have a too-early introduction to atypical lifestyle choices that kids wouldn't even understand use book banning as the reason they call for "any book for any child".
There is such a thing as "age appropriateness". And there is such a thing as "restricting speech".
It is the extremists on either side that cause the problems. Not the normal people who desire a workable solution somewhere in the middle. The childish rhetoric of accusing someone of being a "book banner" or a "child groomer" does not help, and just makes the issue more difficult to solve.
