Six Dr. Seuss books, including 'And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street' and 'If I Ran the Zoo', will no longer be published because of racist and insensitive imagery. Dr. Seuss Enterprises, the company that preserves and protects the author's legacy, made the announcement on Tuesday, which coincides with the late author and illustrator's birthday.
The six books that will no longer be printed are: 'And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street', 'If I Ran the Zoo', 'McElligot's Pool', 'On Beyond Zebra!', 'Scrambled Eggs Super!', and 'The Cat's Quizzer'.
It comes just one day after President Biden omitted

Uh, how in the world can Dr. Seuss be racist? None of the creatures have any race, none are real, all is childish fantasy.
Leftism is a serious mental disorder.

I really don't see anything that's " racist ". On the other hand racists see everything through the prism of race.

Seriously, WTH? There is nothing racist in any of these books. If anything the Dr. Seuss Enterprises ought to be suing for libel and slander.

When you give these lie-beral idiots an inch, they will demand a mile.
Today it is no longer publishing there books. Tomorrow it will be demands for large sums of money to atone for their racist history.
Just go out of business now. You were doomed the second you made this idiotic and evil decision!!! And you deserve it!!!!

Call it what you will but this is federally sponsored censorship. Complete disregard for the First Amendment guaranteeing free speech. And yet they sell their Marxist ideology with titles like "In defence of the Constitution". It's on par with North Korea cal!ing themselves the democratic people's republic.
It doesn't end with Dr. Seuss. It doesn't end with the First Amendment. Or the Second.......

Go to your bookstores and buy Dr. Seuss books, as many as you're able to buy.
Call your Congressmen and ask them why they are standing silent as the Left in this country are tearing apart the societal fabric. The hatred has reached the insane, totally irrational mindless level in the pit of hell, as i wrote about in a post three or four years ago as we witnessed the explosive and inflammatory rhetoric of hatred, which based on my studies of the rise of totalitarian dictatorships was predictable.
I had hoped that there would be some Democrats willing to stand against it, but the specter of ostracism or cancellation began to seal the lips of people who might have once had a conscience and a love for country and the courage to step up (and in honesty, a few have, but not in politics... and they have suffered the abuse from their former comrades).
What we're seeing is the total madness of demonic hatred, what always happens in revolutions. They always need a target, they have chosen a broad category "whiteness", as evil as it would be if they had chosen "blackness".
Here we are, they are banning children's books with silly characters of all colors and stripes, and a vegetable which we MUST NOT ever again refer to as "Mr." or "Mrs." ...ever... again.
Again, parents, get to your school boards and PTAs and town meetings and absolutely forbid CRT and any other leftist pedagogy (which really is a misnomer, it is propaganda) from being taught in your schools to your children. Investigate every book they distribute or assign. Talk with your children (all ages). And do not pay for them to go to institutions of brainwashing (once known as institutions of "higher learning).

Bullcrap. Next they will ban the Bible because the Old Testament has stories of how to buy and sell and treat slaves and stone women to death for adulterous behavior.

Sorry, #8, but my Senators, and many of my House representatives, are spineless, useless Republi-Can'ts.
Oh, they had no trouble attacking President Trump. But when it comes to attacking something from their evil Demon-Rat overlords in Congress, they are totally and completely useless. They just want to "play nice".
So, sadly, contacting them for something like this would be about as useless as trying to teach a pig to dance...

I bought all of the Dr. Seuss books for my son over 20 years ago, hardcover. He loved them. His favorite was “Go Dog Go”. I read to him in the rocking chair before bed every night, one of my favorite memories. By the time he got to Kindergarten, he was reading on a third grade level. Reading to young kids is essential and the Seuss books were the best. Kids love them! Glad I kept the books. A friend who teaches at a chi chi private school here in CA says the school has banned the Laura Ingalls Wilder “Little House” series because they are “mean” to Native Americans! I am stunned...what are we going to do about this insanity? I swear my head is going to explode...my heart is already broken.

#8 Calling your congressman is silly. Most are either Democrats or Rinos. Nothing will be done to stop this censorship of Dr. Seuss and much more to come of works by other authors. One day and it will happen soon, there will be public book burnings the news of which will be carried with breathless excitement by the MSM. When K. Harris become president, elections, free elections that is, will be cancelled. The promotions of left-wing military officers will be contiued and speedily streamlined. We've seen this before...in Lenin's Russian, Mussolini's Italy and Hitler's Germany.

"Dr. Seuss Enterprises, the company that preserves and protects the author's legacy,..."
I don't see any preserving or protecting going on here. More useless elites who can't wait to abandon their duties so people don't call them names. They just tied Wendy Who to the stake and are helping the mob build up the fire.

President Obama was actually a big fan of Dr. Seuss especially the Star-Belly Sneetches that dealt with the illusion of differences we perceive in others. Seuss even acknowledged his mistake in depicting an Asian character in a stereotypic way and corrected his art in later additions. He consciously tried to address the criticism and his work for children is devoid of anything but good intentions. I guess getting a scalp for the identity politics police is more useful for Biden than any actual understand of the real person of Ted Geisel.

There is only one way to turn back the rising tide of communism and no one who represents or seeks to represent freedom-loving Americans seems willing to go there. I guess it's less stressful to pretend that the 2022 and/or the 2024 elections will turn the tide.

Biden the puppet omitted nothing. Rather, the Antifa cabal that overthrew the USA without firing a shot is now banning books, just like the fascists they claim to oppose. Untransformed America was a far better thing than the nightmare we now have.
