This disappoints me as one of the greater writers of conservative based books.
Horton Hears a Who: Pro-life message
The Lorax: Warnings of what happens to nations with open border policies
Thudwick: A story of the hardworking, and those leeching off them
The King’s stilts: Warning of the need for a strong military is necessary for peace
How the Grinch stole Christmas: Pro-Christmas message
Yertle the Turtle: Warnings against a strong centralized government
Especially since the Sneetches is a story against racism or other differences between groups of people. Sad. I will still enjoy his other stories.
I didn’t get the open borders aspect of the Lorax. It definitely speaks to avoiding polluting the earth, which is an excellent message even for those on the right.
Remember that there is an epidemic now of neurological disorders like Alzheimers that may well be caused by industrial pollution, plastics being breathed and ingested, who knows? Keeping the earth clean enough for human health IS a conservative value. Keeping people from water because of a stupid fish going extinct is a liberal environmental value.
