That's just my point really. I can't seem to find anything about the book successfully being removed from any library.

And I'll repeat
my point. Waiting until a book has been removed from a library before calling attention to it means it's too late to do anything about it. What would be the point?

So some crackpots have complained about it but the general community/libraries have basically replied "tough shit the book stays".

Why are you assuming lone crackpots? It could just as likely be a concerted effort to have a book removed that was thwarted by the ALA calling attention to the "challenge," couldn't it? Most complaints don't even make it to the formal challenge stage.

I'm at a loss as to why so many seem to think that if we give people the right to complain about a book they don't like this automatically means the government is going to start down the road of censoring everything we get to read.

I'm not worried at all about the government. I'm worried about local groups of douchebag citizens feeling threatened by a children's picture book.
