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.

Did no one else clock that GRAY'S ANATOMY is in that picture? The fuck?

The foremost anatomical textbook, so well-devised and illustrated that it is still in use today?

Well, let's hope that nobody's trying to teach anatomy in those schools, because even pictures of the _dissected musculature of the pubic area is sufficient to result in a ban

Also, it seems we're ignoring the fact that every single book touching on ANY kind of mythology or history of the ancient world is being banned.

On the other hand, at least they got rid of The Complete Book of Cats. Absolute filth, I can't believe they let kids read that
