Interesting article noting how Seuss would have detested Ted Cruz and everything he stands for. The article quotes the author of a book highlighting 100 of the greatest social justice warriors...including Seuss.

Let’s not erase his entire legacy. Stop printing those handful of problematic books, but don’t associate his name with hateful racism. [/quote]

No worries. People with more than one brain cell aren't doing that.[/quote]

Not true.

His name was already removed from Read Across America Day. It used to essentially be Dr. Seuss Day. Teachers and librarians would wear the big red and white hat from the Cat in the Hat, and books by Dr. Seuss were prominently featured.

The damage is done.

^^^That’s the cancel culture aspect of this. For whatever reason, this thread has focused on the publisher’s discretion rather than discuss the impact on the annual event and the response by schools. [/quote]

What is the damage that was done, exactly?  Who was hurt by this?[/quote]
