PS: It turns out to be a myth that Victorians covered piano legs for the sake of modesty. But one day people will hear that Floridians removed dictionaries from school libraries for the sake of modesty, or prudery, or protecting the children, and wonder whether it's a myth. The truth will be out there, but not in Florida libraries.

Florida school district removes dictionaries from libraries, citing law championed by DeSantis
The Escambia County School District, located in the Florida panhandle, has removed several dictionaries from its library shelves over concerns that making the dictionaries available to students would violate Florida law.Judd Legum (Popular Information)

Apart from the #education & #censorship issues here, & the "liberty" of a minority to dictate what everyone else can see, there's a #copyright issue. But it seems that the school hand-drew clothing on the book pages (which is lawful under #FirstSale) & did not reprint copies with altered images (which would be infringement).
