All of these were banned at some point for profanity, racial slurs, and/or sex.
Incidentally, even mentioning or referencing the Bible is illegal in Arizona schools, not under "separation of church and state" things but because it teaches the superiority of the Jewish people! Oh, and because Jesus was buddies with twelve men and exactly one woman, he's not such a hot role model either. However, it's still the authority on homosexuality, illegal immigration, etc. Your tax dollars at work.
