summary-
We can all recall the books of famous Bill Cosby "Little Bill" which are always loved and cherished by kids. Well lately Cosby has been accused of sexual assault and people are now coming to believe that his books have sexual meanings behind them. Not only this but it is in risk of being banned due to the amount of parents who have been complaining of books coming from an author with a background like this.

This post was written by Emanuella Grinberg for CNN on Monday April 10,2017. This is the first time ive heard about this topic but it isnt the first time issues like these have come along. If we recall, back when Micheal Jackson was accused of assaulting little kids his music was no longer heard the same during that time period. As soon as one of his songs played he was judged and labeled as a pedophile. Even if his music was amazing, his new image would not leave his side.

I believe in separating the man from the work. I grew up watching Little Bill and Fat Albert. They're still really good ways of entertainment for kids, and they both have good lessons attached. Bill Cosby may be awful, but damn he's funny, and, dare I say it, good with kids. Also, When O.J. Simpson murdered his wife, (and, believe me, he DID), Did people stop watching The "Naked Gun" franchise? Hell no, because it's funny as shit!
