Being able to prosecute people for putting Heather Has Two Mommies in a high school library will have a chilling effect. Possibly more insidious than an outright ban.

The prosecution is only if the defendant(s) is/are found to be in the wrong, and continues to perform actions that were ruled to be obscene after being notified that it is not allowed to continue. After being told that you cant take any more cookies from the jar, if you continue to take cookies from the jar, THEN the select government entities listed can prosecute.

Every teacher needs to check the local and state restrictions and bans list before they can bring a book inside a school? That's not a lot better.
