The American Library Association, which sponsors Banned Books Week (9/21-9/27 this year), keeps tabs on how many books are challenged or banned from libraries and schools.

Captain Underpants? Really?

A few years ago, for some reason, I was hearing from people I know that Spongebob Squarepants was being banned from their households. Literally told it’s a bad influence on the kids.

These are people in my age group who grew up on Warner Bros. cartoons, with all of their over-the-top violence and occasional racial slurs.

I just don’t get parents sometimes.
