Scholastic pulls children's book from 'Captain Underpants' author over 'harmful racial stereotypes and passively racist imagery'

A children's book from Dav Pilkey, author of the popular Captain Underpants series, has been pulled from shelves because it perpetuates "passive racism."
Last week, children's publisher Scholastic announced they will no longer distribute Pilkey's 2010 graphic novel, The Adventures of Ook and Gluk: Kung-Fu Cavemen from the Future.

Whoa!..
Lets back up here a little..
Captain Underpants?

Kung-Fu Cavemen are offensive.....But...
This Isn`t??!!

So the message is:
Hey Kids!
If you`re ever in trouble.
Wander around town until you find this guy.
Captain Underpants will Save You!
Image


He Drives a Van just like this!

Who could possibly think Captain Underpants...
Is a Good Idea?
Image


"Captain Underpants?!!"

Strange, is it not, dear Sher'f (peace to you, luvee), what some people find funny/humorous/not offensive... when it should be just the opposite?

SMH at this one (yep, a grown man running around in nothing but his chonies and a cape - Ha... ha... ha - eye roll).

Peace to you, my dear friend!
