Online retailer eBay is removing several Dr. Seuss books from its website that are no longer being published.
A spokeswoman for the website told the Washington Examiner on Thursday that it would no longer be allowing sellers to list six books that have been deemed by Dr. Seuss Enterprises, the company that preserves Theodor Seuss "Ted" Geisel's legacy, as containing racially insensitive imagery.
"At eBay, we have a strict policy against hate and discrimination to ensure our platform remains a safe, trusted and inclusive environment for our global community of buyers and sellers," eBay Corporate Communications Specialist Parmita Choudhury said. "We're currently sweeping our marketplace to remove these items. It can take some time to review all existing listings and provide education to impacted users. We're also monitoring the newly published list to be reviewed."

Have white screeds
Hate white screeds.
For some reason autocorrect kept changing the word hate into have.
cancelling my ebay account immediately
Maybe some black market underground printer will take up the slack.
In the past men in trench coats sold “French Postcards” in back alleys. Now it will be banned Dr Seuss books for sale.
Wonder what they will do with DR DOOLITTLE.
Pretty soon libraries will have only two shelves - one labeled Socialism, the other Communism. All other books having been banned, burned on one pretext or another - Girolamo Savonarola would be proud.
Yet “Mein Kampf” remains available.
Did you miss the wedding of the century???
It's Meghan Hewitt now.
Meghan Markle will be getting her comeuppance soon. It’s just starting with the bullying investigation. The Oprah interview competing with the Queen’s corona address was the last straw. Soon they will have their privacy and be known as Mr. and Mrs. Harry Markle. Then comes the divorce when Haz is no longer useful.
So, how quick does the copyright run out if they are no longer publishing them?
The supposed banned books are:’
“And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street”
“If I Ran the Zoo”
“McElligot’s Pool”
“On Beyond Zebra!”
“Scrambled Eggs Super!”
“The Cat’s Quizzer

I looked up the first one on EBay, Seems to be hundreds of them for sale:
Did they get to this one yet?
Next in line for internet eradication...
How about Edward G. Robinson playing Chinese characters in East is West and The Hatchet Man? I saw The Hatchet Man on AMC just a few months ago.
Yep, sadly that’s where we are headed.
The key books available will be Chairman Mao’s Red Book, and perhaps the wit and wisdom of the Kims of North Korea.
I wish we could joke about such things, but this isn’t a joke, when these liberals, who in other contexts tells us they oppose censorship, actively set out to censor things.
are they gonna ban “Born in the USA” next? Doesn’t Bruce make references to the “yellow man”?
I think not, but it would be nice to see him squirm.
What about classic issues of Blackhawk and Military Comics (featuring ‘Chop-Chop’)?
