That was my experience with Lady Chatterley's Lover, and with Sexus. These books were not in my school's library, but copies circulated. It was easy to find the "dirty" bits, because the books fell open at those pages.
I found both books pretty disappointing.
I'm strongly against attempts to control young people's minds. If kids want to read a book, that's a good thing. If it's a book written for adults, that speaks to the kids' reading age and maturity; just because someone is at highschool doesn't mean they're childish. And if they are childish, then they'll likely close the book soon after opening it.
US democracy is weird. Elections for sherriffs, judges and school-library censors seems bizarre to me.
