Banned Books: Winnie the Pooh?

There ton of books that are banned and for good reasons, with one exception, Winnie the Pooh by A.A Milne, why is that challenged? I can understand that people probably don't want people going up to bears and think they're all friendly and what not. But I grew up with Winnie the Pooh, as did many others and we turned out okay. But to lump this book in with books like Catcher and The Rye and other inappropriate books is simply idiotic. This book deserves to be taken off of this list, because there is nothing wrong with a friendly bear that hangs around with a donkey, kangaroo, tiger, rabbit, and a pig. People should have a choice to let their child read this book, even if they want to risk giving their child psychological issues later in life, but that's their problem.
