What are we gonna do now? That kid is never gonna be able to lead a normal life again! Never will he be able to have sex or take a drink, without being reminded of this traumatic experience from his childhood!!!! Because of this he won't be able to have sex, so he'll become a nerd. But he can't become a nerd because he can't play games. So he'll end up as an emo

I could no have said it better. "Tank girl" is just an older comic (and this is maybe why it found its way to said library), and much less violent or sexually explicit than most of other older and newer US comics circulating among the youth. In the sixties it was Barbarella, Evarella and all kinds of drug comics, now you have bands like "Slipknot" and this culture is being reflected in all kind of media.
America is so hypocritical, on one hand all actors wear underwear in sex scenes of Hollywood productions, on the other the hardest Pornos are produced by your neighbour, and sent to YouTube. Public drinking of alcohol only from bottles in paperbags. But get those 18-year old in the army and let them kill or be killed

I agree it should not be in a school library - but if you really want to hide this stuff away from your children, where do you want to begin ?
All that makes money is sacred, this is especially true in the US, and the sex and porn market is alive and expanding or so it seems. They want to sell stuff, and the consumer cannot be young (and thus, dumb) enough. Young people are easy to influence

So again, where do you begin ?
