    Do you think the 'Captain Underpants' series should be banned from schools?

    The "Captain Underpants" series isn't a favorite for everyone. In 2002, the American Library Association ranked the books among those most frequently complained about by parents and educators. In addition, that year, "Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants" was removed from an elementary school in Page, N.D., after a parent objected to the book's language and "innuendos." Do you agree or disagree? Have you let your child read this series? Share your thoughts.

    Yes. It contains violence and inappropriate language.

    No. It's just a book and parents should relax.

    Who cares! As long as my kid is reading a book and not playing a video game I'm happy.

    The books are the perfect way to get children disallusioned with mandatory schooling to read. They were my favorite series when I was in elementary school, and anyone who wants to ban them clearly a. hasn't read them or b. hasn't got thier priorities straight.
