I think Freckle Juice should be banned (or maybe not, since the kid learns his lesson not to mix stuff around the kitchen....anyway, I don't remember too much of the story)
There was a book that I read in Grade 5 about slaves escaping to the north called "Underground to Canada" (I think that's what it's called, anyway), and apparently some schools in Nova Scotia want to ban it because of the use of the "n" word. I was like, ummmmmm, that's part of the story??? And the the kids who read these books (which I would put at Grade 5/6 or so, or 10/11 years old) are listening to hip hop which may or may not contain The Word.
