I love this passage from the NYT article:

Ms. Nilsson, reached at Sunnyside Elementary School in Durango, Colo.,
said she had heard from dozens of librarians who agreed with her stance.
“I don’t want to start an issue about censorship,” she said. “But you
won’t find men’s genitalia in quality literature.”

Um, okay.  I didn't know that was a defining characteristic of "quality
literature."  Good to know.
