I don’t read Captain Underpants so I know very little about it. I am a little wierded out by the underwear theme, kids in underwear? Eh no thanks. As far as Chinese philosophy, mentioning it and talking about it can’t be that harmful. The whole Tao thing, the teachings of Lao Tsu, who is also called Confucius by the actively racist British, are very interesting and important.

The leaf floats on top of a roiling stream without being disturbed. If happiness is in your destiny you need not be in a hurry. Go through life without damaging the world as you pass through it, like Kwai Chang walking on rice paper without tearing it. It is the empty space that makes a window useful. This is all very useful.

Making it racist to teach it using fictional characters does not help people learn. It probably isn’t even passively racist. The whole cancel culture troll mob hs way too much power. Get off of Twitter.

Huh? I've never heard that before. Everything I've seen said that Confucius came after Lao Tzu.

Lao Tsu (老子）and Confucious （孔子） are not the same person. I don’t know where you got that idea.
