Yup, this is a straightforward example of censorship. 

Most things that people describe as "censorship" really aren't ... for
instance, Renderosity or some other forum deciding on its own to delete
certain images is not "censorship" at all, but an implementation of
freedom of the press.  (Publishers, which includes websites, are
perfectly free to publish or not publish, and that's meant to be the
natural check on freedom of speech.) 

But when a judge tells a newspaper not to publish, that's plain raw
censorship by the strictest definition.

The deeper problem with situations like this one is not the censorship,
but the relatively new assumption that the state owns all children, and
only lends them to the parents until the parents displease the state.
This is emphatically not how parenting was supposed to work!!!
