Here you can find short sample of those `dangerous` books: https://pen.org/banned-books-list-2025/

And, I know those shadow libraries are banned because of copyright, but that's just an excuse. If someone pushes such a broad understanding of Freedom as US does, than copyright should maybe not be the one exception that's ok. People should have freedom to publish anything and other should have freedom to read/play/watch anything. If US can ban something because of so abstract as copyright, why can't EU ban something because of so abstract as `its all lies and state sponsored propaganda` ?

NOTE: just playing devils advocate here, to show the hypocrisy of it all...

Those book "bans" are just librarians' decision on what to use finite shelf space to stock. Students are 100% free to bring any of the "banned" books to school and read them. By this logic, when a librarian changes out an older set of YA novels with a newer set, those older novels are being "banned". So to answer your question:

> Cool, so the US students will be able to read school banned books ?

The answer is "whenever they want."

Furthermore, the CDC's calls for retraction don't prohibit anyone from reading the retracted papers.

		Sure, librarians wouldn't know how to do they work, if they didn't get a list on 'not approved' books from the school boards. /s It's something else if something can't be bought or placed on the shelf because its on some school provided list, and if you (librarian) decide you don't buy it because of (whatever reason). The same with research, if something is not published, or funding on research is stopped because `we know climate change doesn't exists`, that no one can read it, because its not even created. But who cares, its useless debate...
