Magic Tree House author Mary Pope Osborne, children’s poet Shel Silverstein and Calvin and Hobbes cartoonist Bill Watterson have joined Judy Blume, Sarah J. Maas, Eric Carle and Kurt Vonnegut on a mind-boggling list of hundreds of books purged from some Tennessee school libraries.
Fucking Calvin & Hobbes?!
Are you fucking kidding me right now?!
Can’t have cartoons about questioning authority,those 8y olds might get ideas!
I have the “Complete Collection” box set, and I broke my 10 year-old son’s heart when, after he finished the whole thing, I had to tell him that there were no more. I think they made him a better kid.
These people are going after anything that might imply nudity at all. I seem to remember Calvin had an immense hatred of baths. So once his mom finally got him in, poof, that now has to go, because he’s naked under all that water.
I’m surprised they don’t just ban all visual art that depicts humans, since everyone is naked under their clothes.
A small kid asking for a porn movie??? BAN THAT SHIT!!!
Calling satanic powers?? JESUS FUCKING CHRIST BAN THIS HERETICAL SHIT!!!
I always loved Calvin’s snowman hijinks. And Spaceman Spiff. And all the “I’M HOOoooOOOOooome!”
Geez… God forbid there’s a copious amount of bubbles or something covering anything if Calvin ever does jump back out of the bath
There are strips where he’s running around naked and you see his butt
An inquisitive young kid with a strong imagination and who asks lots if questions is rarely seen by adults in power as a positive influence.
No, the right wing are just that sensitive.
Also, Eric Carle? Really?
Promotes the radical environmentalism ideology and the war on cars biking!
And building character!
