Perhaps a touching and childlike belief that they, whomever they may be, would not ban a book without a very good reason such as the judicial system ruling the book is not acceptable.
Perhaps just an attempt to stir the pot?
For the most part IRL, I find it's often people's nasty prejudices that cause pressure to be applied to have books banned. To slightly misquote a song's lyrics, "But honey, they're not our kind".
