I’m a liberal democrat horrified by the current Dr Seuss drama and normalization of censorship

Oh geez, you think you are so clever with this line of question. The answer, for me at least, is that the government should in no way be involved in this issue.

Ok. On that we can agree. So what’s your plan of action other than complaining?

Great news! The government is in no way involved in this issue.

Now, you can return to your regularly scheduled grousing about the actions of a private enterprise.

So you admit you have nothing of substance to contribute?

I found our enlightened conservatives who are so worried about “censorship”:

That’s just rude?

I am a registered Democrat. Maybe you’re right that I’m not on the very farthest of the left at this point, because if this is what they want, I disagree.
But to do away with all potentially hurtful stereotypes portrayed throughout our history of literature and media is a slippery slope. How is this line about Chopsticks more hurtful than all of the “dumb blonde bimbo” tropes. Is Legally Blonde next to be shelved? (I’m trying to be lighthearted, about something that really does scare me for the future).

No True Democrat would object to this self censorship.

For goodness sake there are hundreds of thousands of books out there to choose from. If you really want this particular book go to one of the online used book sellers. Or just wait a while til it’s out of copyright and then publish it yourself.

"Cancel Culture" is the new buzzword on the right.

Pretty rich, after four years of trying to Cancel truth, cancel science, cancal the independence of the Justice department, cancel the Balance of Powers, cancel government oversight,.and cancel rule of law.

And now they are complaining about a *private* publisher who can do whatever they like with their books, just like those bakers who don't have to bake "gay" cakes anymore.

Cry me a river.

are you clever enough to understand that the government indeed is not involved in this issue and has nothing to do with the decision made by the estate of Dr Seuss? just asking before we go 11 more pages discussing about nothing.

I would LOVE to know how much overlap there is between people like the OP, who is so deeply concerned about this censorship, and those who don't want books like "Heather Has Two Mommies" available for kids to read at the library.

I'm confident it's close to 100%.

For me, this is it, complain. It's the American way.

Who said the government was involved in this decision? Are you dense?

There are 218 copies of "And to Think I Saw it on Mulberry Street" on eBay. I have no doubt that you will be able to satisfy your fetish for books with racist caricatures there.

How much are the rights? Is it $9.99 like the books or a little higher?
