They're not the only thing out of circulation due to not being P.C. The restaurant chain known as Sambo's Sam Battistone, Sr. and Newell Bohnett went out of business due to people thinking it not P.C. As far as other books Dr. Dolittle (or rather his parrot)isn't quite P.C. (at least in older copies of the books) and some have tried to have the Narnia books re-written due to the built in Christian outlook of the tales. And of course the works of Mark Twain are always being challenged due to their writing. People have even objected to Red Riding Hood and at least one of the books of Beatrix Potter. Red Riding Hood in some illustrations is taking a bottle of wine to her sick grandmother and The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle because an illustration showed a basket of apples (implying that she was making cider). People will find an excuse to ban just about anything.
