Six complaints were filed with librarians at the Toronto Public Library in 2013, asking for five books and one movie to be removed from the collection.
One of the five books was Dr. Seuss's 1963 rhyming ode to fatherhood, Hop on Pop. According to library documents, the complainant argues the book "encourages children to use violence against their fathers," and asks the library to apologize to dads while paying for any damages that occurred from the book.
The library found the book actually discourages children from hopping on pop at all, and decided to keep the book within their children's collection.
The reign of terror from Canadian three-year olds will continue.
On the flip side, the movie complained about was Adam Sandler's That's My Boy. That person is just a hero.
