I say let the local schools and libraries make their own decisions on what to do. Personally, I don't think a prize-winnning book would be the worst place for a child to encounter that word but that's just me. As an aside, my older brother had me convinced for a short period that scrotum was my real name.
For a similar reason, I thought my name was "Dammit" for a time.
