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.

Captain Underpants?
Kung-Fu Cavemen are offensive.....But...

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!
