It is not beyond the pail, that I would not want my 8 year old kid reading about blood and guts. No-one would object to me saying keep StephenKing out of my 3'rd graders hand. No one would suggest it's book banning to do so.
It is not beyond the pail, that I would not want my 8 year old kid reading about Jesus. While people might object to removing references the that myth from my kids, I doubt anyone would consider it banning a book.
Why would it be up to me as a parent to determine what is presented to my child in those two cases, but not up to me in other cases. I am the parent, and that is where the argument stops. If I say books on topic X are not approved, then don't show my kid books on X.
