Some people really want to wipe out any and all historical record of comedian Bill Cosby. TV networks have long stopped airing re-runs of “The Cosby Show.” But that’s not enough. Cosby’s children’s book series, “Little Bill,” is now one of the 10 most challenged by parents and other potential censors.

Unlike the other books on the list, community members want to ban “Little Bill” not because of obscene or otherwise objectionable content, but because of the allegations against its author.
