I looked for myself once. The "most banned book" was, according to Google search (and DDG, many listings for it), the one by Maia Kobabe. This book is available on archive.org, you can find it yourself. And it is indeed pornographic by any meaningful standard.
> Only 22% of the books banned in the 2021-2022 school year contained sexual content.
Well gee, as long as it's not 98% what's the big deal. Frankly, I think everyone should be just fine with any number below about 80% pornographic. Wouldn't want to get carried away.
> The definition of sexual content includes things like "informational books about puberty" (i.e. sexual content != pornographic).
This is another absurd claim. When you go to look at the books themselves, this isn't some little cartoon of "how to roll the rubber down over the penis"... which while I might agree would disturb some people, it wouldn't much bother me. It's strapons and cock-sucking, and all the things that at least 20 or 30 years ago would have had something categorized as hardcore porn.
The people who want to claim it is "informational books about puberty" don't have the same definition of "informational books about puberty" and "sexual education" as the rest of us, and they like to take advantage of people being too lazy to check for themselves.

Are you perhaps misunderstanding what the statistic I quoted means? Because it doesn't mean that every banned book is 22% sexual, which I think is what you read it as?
If I rephrase it as "78% of banned books contain nothing sexual", does that help?
Otherwise I have literally no idea what you are trying to say here.
