The White House on Tuesday declined to defend Dr. Seuss after President Joe Biden left the children's author out of a proclamation celebrating Read Across America Day. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the day is 'a chance to celebrate diverse authors whose work and lived experience reflect the diversity of our country.' Her comments come after Biden omitted Dr. Seuss from Read Across America Day, which is held annually on the children's author's birthday on March 2.
But now six of his children's books will no longer be published because of racist and insensitive imagery, Dr. Seuss Enterprises, the company that preserves and protects the author's legacy,

Each day, another outrage. I cannot believe how quickly this country has devolved into a dystopian nightmare. Democrats are determined to tear down anything the average American considers normal. If it is something we have traditionally accepted as part of our culture or heritage it is particularly scrutinized. There is something seriously off with the people making these decisions. Take a look at the left and they appear to have some mental issues. They just ain’t right. Look at Joe Biden, you can see that the lights are on but nobody’s at home. It is something about the eyes. Curiously, the media have that same look as do the wackadoodles in Hollywood. Zuckerberg, Dorsey and Bezos all have it. Something has taken hold of these people. Could it be that their political philosophy is so toxic it actually begins to alter their appearance? So many of them have that wild eye look of Jack Nicholson in The Shining. Suffice it to say, the country is being assaulted by a cabal of anti-American totalitarians drunk on power and crazy enough to have no idea just how mentally impaired they appear to the average American. It is fitting that their leader is embarrassingly mentally deficient. He is the king of fools. God help us. I cannot believe this tired, frail, little clueless man is POTUS. The depth of depravity of the democrat party to actually foist off this incompetent boob as the leader of the free world is an act of hubris I do not believe we have ever seen before.

' not buying the part about Japanese caricatures during the 40's. It was common practice, during war, to demonize and mock the enemy. We WON that war, a takeaway liberals should learn from, those appeasers! What's offensive, today, is how democrats characterize and treat women, as in Cuomo's situation. Allowing men who pretend to be women, to compete in women's sports, as if that's perfectly fair, needs to stop, now! That's about as disrespectful as it gets.

What say you, Obama? I saw a video of him quoting Dr. Suess. He seemed to know the characters very well. Must have heard about them from somewhere? Gramma maybe? Michele read them to children on video as proof of her love of children. This is one of the most asinine things the Democrat/Socialists have done this week.

#3, I have noticed this, too. The look in their faces. The emptiness. Like a bunch of hollowed out roaches. I'll never forget the zombie look that biden the cheater had during the first presidential debate circus last fall. Like satanic forces at work.

#3 - The Bible was full of stories of those who were demonically possessed. I think we tend to think we are too sophisticated and 'scientific' to believe that demonic possession persists. But the eyes are the tell.

If "diverse" simply means people of different colors, then the children will just be subjected to a continual litany of deviant sexual, moral and societal behaviors. It is reaching the point where sending your child to a public indoctrination center will be considered the ultimate form of child abuse.

If there are zombies out there seriously taking Joe Biden’s recommendations on books to read to their children let them have at it. Ignore these nanny state fools and worry about what’s important.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. The Democrats have to micro manage everything - even the books we read. God gives people gifts and talents and I am not going to let a liberal tell me what author to read.

Other than Dr. Thomas Sowell and Dinesh D'Souza, there are no diverse authors. Stop pandering to the insignificant.

While we’re busy banning and canceling things, can we please get rid of the word “diverse” and all of its variations?
When I hear that word my brain automatically dismisses whoever is saying it.

Brings to mind this thought... does sleepy Joe even know who Dr. Seuss is?...and WHO is making these decisions...is Obama so upset because it refers to an African...hmmm?..is it because he's born and raised in Kenya and southeastern countries...still remember his grandmother telling the news... she was in the room when he was born in Kenya ... he is now running the show in the White House for a third term as biden's puppet master...and he was never qualified to be president in the first place...

Trump and beautiful Melania should have stayed in the White House until the cows came home.
Biden and his HO would have sent his Obama FBI to kick them out .
Trump won the 2020 election.
It was stolen from him thru fraud and fake ballots.
Trump should fight for America until the goats come home.

This is what happens when God is replaced by man (who has been influenced by Satan). I know that sounds bazar, but God has passed onto us, through His Word, what is right, good and moral. Satan, who tries to mimic God, also has his version or what is right, good and moral. That, is what the Democrat Party is embracing and is forcing onto the people of this nation, and in the end, it will accomplish exactly what Satan wants, the destruction of God's greatest creation, mankind.
All this political correctness and all its forms, like fairness, equality and equity, is evil and bad for human beings.

It is a day for celebrating whatever it was that someone wrote and Joe Biden signed. Tomorrow will be another such day.
