Lafayette High School
As of April 2, 2023, Last Man: The Royal Cup was still available in the Lafayette High School library, as confirmed by the image below. Although the district claims to have “reviewed collections” and “removed books” in accordance with Missouri Senate Bill 775 (SB 775), their "Response to Library Legislation" page does not specify when the removals actually occurred, possibly to avoid liability. Evidence from the Wayback Machine shows that Last Man: The Royal Cup remained accessible well past the legal deadline, raising serious concerns about the district's compliance with state law.
