I don't believe in banning any books. Also, putting the series The Stupids in the same category as The New Joy of (Gay) Sex?? I would agree that children under a certain probably shouldn't look at sexually (ahem) explicit material, mostly because they won't understand any of it. I read through my mother's copy of A Child is Born which had biological drawings and details of conception, and I was terrified for years as to what exactly a man left behind in a woman in order to cause pregnancy. (Does it grow back?)
I suppose someone thought that The Stupids was being impolite to retarded or learning-disabled people. It just goes to show that they didn't read anything past the title because they were just rather funny books (mostly illustrations) about a silly family and their adventures.
