   Hello Wilfred!   
      
   ** On Tuesday 30.03.21 - 18:46, you wrote to me:   
      
    AA>> ..sorry for this serious mistake. Scholastic has removed   
    AA>> the book from our websites and stopped fulfillment of any   
    AA>> orders (domestically or abroad). We have changed our   
    AA>> metadata feeds to reflect that this book is no longer in   
    AA>> print. Below are the isbns affected.   
      
    AA>> "We are contacting you to ask that you please remove the   
    AA>> book from your shelves, online stores, websites etc. and   
    AA>> return all inventory.   
      
    WvV> And are you going to comply?   
      
   I don't have to.   ;)   I sold out before this nonsense reached     
   me.   
      
   The announcement from the publisher is also reminding me that     
   future orders or restocking will not be available.  Fine.   
      
   Actually, the directive doesn't forbid me to sell the book, if I     
   had any. There is no law about that specific thing.  But watch     
   ebay and other online sale channels that will surely offer     
   copies for sale at ridiculous prices.   
      
   This whole thing called woke or cancel culture or correctness   
   has gone overboard to the point of being ridiculous. I've never   
   heard of "passive racism". Is that like a backward compliment?   
   Sheeeesh.  What's wrong with depicting an asian with slanted   
   eyes? That's part of a distinctive appearance.   
      
   Ook and Gluk is just a fun story about a couple of cavemen.     
   Totally fictional.  The official line is: "The move comes amid a     
   wave of violence nationwide that has targeted Asian Americans     
   during the COVID-19 pandemic."   
      
   So.. this "move" is because of the violence toward Asians? The     
   book is just a frigging silly story with everyone getting along,     
   helping each other and quite "inclusive" of other cultures.   
      
   I'm surprised that Captain Underpants isn't considered "passive     
   racism" against teachers, or something called "passive child     
   molestation". It's a silly story about a super-hero teacher who     
   wears underpants.
