Did no one else clock that GRAY'S ANATOMY is in that picture? The fuck?

The foremost anatomical textbook, so well-devised and illustrated that it is still in use today?

Well, let's hope that nobody's trying to teach anatomy in those schools, because even pictures of the _dissected musculature of the pubic area is sufficient to result in a ban

Also, it seems we're ignoring the fact that every single book touching on ANY kind of mythology or history of the ancient world is being banned.
