Canceled. Next up? Dr. Seuss!


Six Dr. Seuss books — including “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street” and “If I Ran the Zoo” — will stop being published because of racist and insensitive imagery, the business that preserves and protects the author’s legacy said Tuesday.

I think the criticism of the zoo might be justified since the character was going to put people of color in the zoo and that's potentially offensive even if it's just a story. Page 18 of the report below highlights the problem with the zoo.

They were griping about an Asian wearing a conical hat in the Mulberry Street book but many Asians in the country still wear conical hats. I even own a conical hat from my overseas trips and I wore it proudly in four Asian countries.

I disagree with most of their objections. I'm sure most of the characters in Dr. Seuss books look ridiculous but the only people complaining are the critical race theory hustlers/scammers. The goal is to get kids to read books and Dr. Seuss is a great way to get kids to pick up books.

Kamala Harris wished Dr. Seuss a happy birthday four years ago. I guess she's racist.

Yeah, this is pretty funny.

The left always needs an enemy, they always need to make up lies that someone is racist, bigoted , etc so they can portray themselves as the heroes to the victims of this fabricated oppression. They tried to do the same thing to Chic Fil A
