What a ridiculous thing to be upset about.

OP and other pearl-clutchers aren't looking for solutions, dude. They just want to look down their noses at people who recognize that racist imagery probably shouldn't appear in children's books.

Gotta hand it to Republicans, though. They're really good at contriving culture war wedges.

But two mommies imagery should?

Impossible to find them.

I’m sorry your internet is broken. Here you go - enjoy!

Sold out.

If you have enough money you can buy the rights and pay someone to publish for you.

If you don't...well this is America. The land of the free. No one owes you anything.

There are currently 276 copies for sale on eBay. I'm sure that after this Republican-induced mania dies down, you will be able to find them for less than a dollar.

Yes, this has been really interesting to watch Republicans rush to defend him. And to abandon freedom of speech.

They do have a coherent set of principles: what I want is right.

His themes are slightly above their reading level, so it is a bit of a surprise.

Wait till they read The Lorax. They’ll be lighting up the book fires.

Yep. Just contriving another culture war issue to distract from the fact that the party is intellectually bankrupt and the majority of Americans disagree with their actual policy positions.
