I don't think multi-award-winning, multi-millionaire, world-famous novelist Margaret Atwood is in a position where she could possibly give a flying fuck about elevating her profile.

You can argue reasonably that communities, schools, and parents' groups have some level of responsibility for making decisions about the content of school libraries. But schools also have a responsibility to ensure that this doesn't stray into the effect of a government body (the school) restricting access to speech on the basis of its content (there was a whole Supreme Court case about exactly this).

And beside all of that it's totally legitimate to complain about stupid decisions that you think will hurt students.
