Small-minded people.If you mean which specific organization, it depends on where you are, but generally speaking it's whichever local group of small-minded people thinks they can get away with it and has some degree of influence over libraries, schools, and/or bookstores (it doesn't do any good to "ban" a book unless you can enforce that ban somehow).
