It’s not a wonderful kind of day.

A beloved “Arthur” children’s book has been banned in Clay County, Florida after a local school district member claims the 1989 title has “damaged souls,” reported The Guardian.

The lighthearted Marc Brown book in question, “Arthur’s Birthday,” now joins 45 other titles on probation that are “pending oversight committee review” all thanks to activist Bruce Friedman.

Rest assured, he just wants to “protect children” from the animated aardvark in question.

The grown man’s gripe with the page turner is that it briefly references the kissing game “spin the bottle” — something he adamantly wrote to officials that “is not appropriate to discuss.”

“Spin the bottle’ not okay for K-5 kids,” he added in all capital letters, before adding that the mere mention of such a promiscuous game will suck from the souls of the youth.

In response to the malarkey, the Florida Freedom to Read Project clapped back on the X platform, formerly known as Twitter, in a message targeted at the proposed ban.

“The entire book is about being inclusive of all friends and not only inviting boys or girls (based on your gender) to your birthday party,” the organization wrote.

This isn’t the only time that Friedman has been a little freedom writer, though.

Last year, according to Popular Information, he compiled “a list of over 3,600 titles that [he believes] have concerning content.”
