Utah has banned 13 books, including Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood
which basically claims that large corporations are not to be trusted
with science.
I do not know any of the other authors but Sarah J. Maas writes
Fantasy.
James Nichol will be delighted that women are being recognised with
twelve of the thirteen books being written by women.

Which are public education.

I know nothing about US charter schools but in Aotearoa they now have
freedom from public school rules and curriculum.

They have no gummint-imposed standards as to what subjects they are to
teach? Their pupils are exempt from any testing done to see if they
are learning at the proper rate?

That they are not being micromanaged would not be surprising. That
they are totally free to do whatever they want would be.
