>Because they're not "not allowed".

...yes? that is the meaning of "ban", so it seems entirely appropriate to use that word

Sorry to tell you this but you've been lied to about these books being banned, as in they are not being banned, they are still allowed.

what does this reply have to do with your misunderstanding about the definition of "ban"?

The books are not banned. Students are allowed to possess the books. Students are allowed to read the books.
