Maybe the person did it as a satire on political correctness.

Jaws was banned by a school for having too much sexual contact.

Why would a school be showing kids Jaws?

Jaws, the novel by Peter Benchley, not Jaws, the movie adaptation of the book.

And why would a school be giving that book to kids to read?

Not all banned books are required reading. Jaws may simply have been in the school library.
