      They are increasingly banning graphic novels. It's a real trend.

          It’s because the sorts of parents who come to these meetings to object to books can flip open a page and see some blood or tits or whatever without actually having to engage in the act of reading

          I would not be surprised if Maus were banned in some school districts. Practically necessary reading.

          So where might I find lawyers who'd provide support for people who showed up outside schools (off property) to give out free copies of these books to whomever might want them?

          You wouldn't need a lawyer. The kids could read them in the lunchroom or library or anywhere on campus they could otherwise read. They're not banned.

          Graphic is just another word for explicit and explicit means sex, so all graphic novels have to go!

          They must be struggling with a lot of school mass bookings to clamp down that hard on books.
