Is bowlderization a reasonable solution to censorship?

BOOK BANNING
A group of concerned and pious parents has moved to ban several books from the library at the high school (or elementary school) that your child attends (or that you attend) for their unedifying content.
You may imagine something more specific based on actual cases. For example, Huckleberry Finn is often banned in the US (for use of “the n-word” among other things), The Catcher and the Rye (Holden Caulfield is a corrupting influence on teenagers), various plays of Shakespeare (for violence, sex, and in Merchant of Venice, unflattering depiction of Shylock the Jew), the Harry Potter series (occult/Satanic and anti-family themes), Maya Angelou’s I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (explicit rape and sexual abuse).
Some of the parents want to add the Bible to the list because of its sexual and violent themes and unedifying depictions of God and heroes. This proposal has fractured the parents. Some want to ban the other books, but not the Bible. Some want to ban the Bible but not the other books. And still others want to ban both the Bible and the other books.
You have 10 minutes to address a school board on this topic. It would be helpful to focus your remarks on a specific topic and to narrow the scope to the scenario
accordingly. For example, you may be addressing the question of whether the Bible should be removed from the school library. Or you might focus on whether some
other book should be removed (your choice of book, but select one that has actually been banned), but not address the Bible at all.
You can find many lists of banned books online. For example:

Note also this news editorial about a bowdlerized version of Huckleberry Finn that replaces every instance of “the n-word” with “slave”:
