It was a loud small minority of taxpayers complaining about the books. Many of the people going to the school board meetings don't even have kids in the district or live in the district. The districts have processes in place for parents to request the district to review books available from their libraries. These people chose a different route by showing up to school board meetings, yelling at the board members (I know a few board members who have received multiple death threats), telling board members "karma is a bitch and it's coming for your kids", and in general making a mockery of the whole process.
