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?
Why shouldn't it?
+1. For people who choose to buy a book reflecting two mommies imagery because it reflects their reality, it's offered to them for purchase, if someone chose to publish it.

Because it’s brainwashing.
Aren't all children's books?

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.

Yes, this has been really interesting to watch Republicans rush to defend him. And to abandon freedom of speech.
You say that as though it's surprising that they do not have a coherent set of principles.

Sold out.
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.

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.
