[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So ALA implies that Laura Ingalls Wilder is a racist and removes her name from an award created for her, but the Geisel Award to Dr. Seuss is untouched. I am sure Dr. Seuss is next on the chopping block.[/quote] No--there is nothing racist about Dr. Seuss, but your faux outrage is offensive.[/quote] Dr. Seuss was a man of his time and that means he was racist against Asians. He drew cartoons that depicted Japanese in very racist and stereotypical ways. I love Dr. Seuss books but really, using the ALA standard, his works are more controversial and racist than Wilder's. (I don't think either award should be changed, btw)[/quote]
