Children’s book publisher Scholastic has pulled “The Adventures of Ook and Gluk,” a spinoff of the popular “Captain Underpants” series, following a re-evaluation that found the book “contains harmful racial stereotypes.”
The author, Dav Pilkey, also offered an effusive apology on YouTube and pledged to send profits from sales of the graphic novel to an organization working to end racially motivated violence against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI).
