[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is not one child that will be harmed through not having access to any of the no longer published books.  Not one.  The republicans on here arguing for keeping them in print are doing so from a place of self entered privilege and nothing else.  Perhaps the GOP can purchase the copyrights and enter the publishing industry?  Mulberry Street can be changed to MAGA Street.  Come to think about Trump does kind of look like a Dr. Seuss character...  Coincidence?  Putin hears a Who?[/quote]
I don't think any child will by harmed by keeping it either.  Not one. So why get rid of it?

Also, do you think everyone who disagrees with you is a Republican?  OP is not.

Finally, how exactly am I privileged?  I have NO power whatsoever over the decision.  Where is the privilege?[/quote]
The publisher determined that they no longer wished to put the books out.  It’s their decision, not yours.  If you don’t agree, get with your buddies over at National Review, purchase the rights, and put it back out on the street.
As to privilege, imagery and language in those books was problematic and you display your privilege through not acknowledging this, what others plainly feel.
Move on!  Start planning your stage design for next year’s CPAC.[/quote]
I thought privilege was some kind of benefit.  I got nothing out of this one.  And what kind of privilege is failure to acknowledge something?  Doesn't everyone have that right?[/quote]  meant right not opinion.[/quote]
The privilege is being reinforced through subtle racist imagery and language that is dated and not tolerated any longer in a diverse society.  The privilege you enjoy is not being affected by it.  
Again though, this was also a business decision to pull the book.  The only ones seeming to be screeching by the company’s decision are the Fox News viewers. [/quote]
