They are not banned, and they probably won't be. They are being reviewed because that is the protocol when a parent files an official complaint. It's a misleading click bait title and article.
But yeah, this mother is stupid as frick and completely misconstrues the message and intent of those novels. Those are probably the two most important anti-racist works in all of American literature and maybe culture as a whole. That's less important than her attention grab though.

My son is named after a character in Huckleberry Finn(I own a 1st edition. One of my favorite books and authors)
Will be ironic if the book is no longer in school by the time he is of age

So I guess "Black Boy" by Richard Wright will be banned as well

History is terrible, there's no reason kids should have to hear about it. Like the saying goes "those who study history are doomed to repeat it".
