You're right -- that was an unfair. However, besides the 14 districts
that ban the book in the United States, both Cuba and China ban the book
nationwide. I guess the article should've said "nationwide" instead of
"federal" so that it could include particular countries, or said "several
districts within the United States".
For Cuba and China, this makes sense. But, why would districts in the
U.S. ban it? I cannot think what would be so bad about the book. Maybe
the torture scenes?
