Books should not be banned , but people get annoyed by some pictures, the story, or one word in a book. In the article "why captain underpants is the most banned book in America" by Pamel Engel it talks about why the captain underpants book series is banned. people say it has offensive language, partial nudity, violence, misbehavior, and blackmail/threats. There is a part when George calls the principle "old man" , captain underpants is in underwear and it gets people annoyed, captain underpants fights in The book, there is misbehavior, and threats, this is what people complain about. I don't think kids are going to call there principle old man. Captain underpants is in a underwear , so he is not naked! parents should be glad he is not naked. What is the problem fighting with paper toilet in a book?? He does not have a gun. Kids are nit going to act like the characters in the book. Kids are not going to threat others like in the book.  Why would they do that?? Books should not be banned the person who disagrees with a book should just ignore it!!
