I agree with Charlatan that if it is a private school they can ban the books from their private property. It isnt like the kids cant go to the public library or buy the book themselves. The school has the right to say they dont agree with the book and think that the kids at their school shouldnt read it. They cant stop the kids from reading the book, theyre just letting everyone know their feelings on the subject.
If it were a public library then that would be a different matter. I do however think it is a stupid stance by the school.
