* ''Literature/TheBerenstainBearsBigChapterBooks'': Brought up in ''The Berenstain Bears and the Dress Code''.
** When Vice-Principal Grizzmeyer comes up with the school dress code, one of the rules is "No Batbear capes". It's not pointed out at the time, but that rule is pretty clearly aimed at Too-Tall, the only cub wearing one.
** While the cubs are discussing the dress code, Ferdy says at least the dress code is fair, because it's aimed at banning ''any'' style of rad clothes. Trudy Brunowitz points out that Ferdy wouldn't be saying that if knickers were on the banned list, and when he says he would because such a ban would be meant for everyone, she retorts that no, it'd clearly be aimed at ''him'' -- he's the only cub in the school that wears them. Ferdy's reaction to this is not shown.

* ''Donkeys Can't Sleep in Bathtubs and Other Crazy Laws'': The book itself is mainly a list of outright bizarre laws, but the introduction includes an explanation for one law that was blatantly an example of this -- a couple in New York state had hung a clothesline in their front yard and filled it with old clothes, as a way of protesting high taxes, showing the taxes were making them poor. The city fathers didn't like this and responded by passing a law requiring that people have a license to have a clothesline in their front yard (the excuse being that it was to ensure that the city was kept looking tidy), and blocked the couple's attempt to get said license.

* At the finale of ''Literature/TheBlackMagicianTrilogy'', the WizardingSchool revises its laws to make the protagonist Sonea the one exception to the {{ban|OnMagic}} on BlackMagic, at least until she retires and appoints a successor as Black Mage. It's done in part to reward her for saving the country and in part to secure a uniquely powerful asset -- especially since the school's rivals have been exposed as extraordinarily powerful black magic practitioners.
