Edward V. Wright points out that most high school libraries do not
have the collected works of Galileo. The same is probably true of
most libraries accessible to a high school math department head.

This points to the need for better libraries and for a zealous
concern for keeping editions of great works in print. It does not 
point to the censorship of reasonable questions.
