This was more a case of malicious compliance. Province said “give us a list of books you have that meet these stupid criteria” and the school boards took their amateurishly worded MO and produced a list that met that criteria.
Malicious compliance can mean finding ways to make a good law cause problems out of some other grievance, or it can be exposing how bad a law is by following it to its logical conclusion in a public and dramatic way. This is the latter, like those groups trying to get the bible removed in southern states with these kind of laws. It’s not about the bible, it’s about showing how bad book bans are.
