Up to this point, the law stated that schools could take into account the general artistic and literary merit of materials, which means that individual lines or paragraphs, including the mention of sex, violence or drug use, may not be sufficient to remove an object.

Legislators try to eliminate this provision for schools. When approved, the change could mean a lot more work for media specialists and headmaster. Read more here.
