I was never a fan, probably like you. I hate clowns. When our granddaughter was little she hated The Cat in the Hat. When I tried to read it to her she hit the book, especially the cat and his things.

But the drawings of the creatures in the book mostly don’t really represent people much, muchless white people.

They are fantasy characters. It’s clear they don’t represent any particular human group.

.....especially black men are vehemently oppugnant to the notion one of their sisters shacking up with a white man.

And the sisters hate to see a brother with a white woman. So where does that leave them?!

Every commercial family is diversified, every child is biracial and lots of same sex partners/parents.

They are still angry about “Dr. Seuss’s” world war two depictions of Japanese.

Apparently working for PM in the 1940s was enough to shore up his Left Wing cred.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PM_(newspaper)

PM was a liberal-leaning daily newspaper published in New York City by Ralph Ingersoll from June 1940 to June 1948 and financed by Chicago millionaire Marshall Field III.

The paper borrowed many elements from weekly news magazines, such as many large photos and at first was bound with staples. In an attempt to be free of pressure from business interests, it did not accept advertising.

...There were accusations that the paper was Communist-dominated, but others have concluded that the paper frequently opposed the policies of the Communist Party (CP) and engaged into editorial battles with the CP’s paper, the Daily Worker...

Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, published more than 400 cartoons on PM’s editorial page...

Cultural Marxism seeks to destroy all evidence of the past and criminalize and shame every thought you may have even had.

A progrom is coming to purge the United States of the tens of millions of hold outs who refused to worship Lord god Obama or Bernie or AOC or Castro or Jugo or Chairman Mao or...

Now type: white couple

and look at the results

Mass media is openly lying to the public, not just about “this” but about everything

People who don’t like the book don’t have to buy it for their children.

It’s as easy as what they use to say to conservatives - ‘just change the channel’... Again, if liberals don’t like the book they don’t have to buy it for THEIR children.

They are on to us.
The Dr Z books are covert manuals for how to be a
white supremacist.
I’m surprised it took them this long.
I guess it was just a matter of time once they figured out “snow” and “milk” were racist.

Don’t forget anti-Semitic and anti-Islamic because of Sam’s insistence that the other character eat pork in Green Eggs and Ham.

That was probably my most favorite book when I was learning to read. I still have the original 1960 hard-cover book that my parents bought for me ... it's a little raggedy around the edges, but it's still a solid book.

I saved several originals of my most favorite childhood books:
The Pushcart War
The Boxcar Children
All of the Hardy Boy books published before 1972
All of the Tom Swift books published between 1964 and 1971
Alan E. Nourse's "Raiders from the Rings"
Ben Bova's "The Star Conquerors"
Robb White's "The Secret Sea" (1968, which was the very first book that I purchased with my own money).

A lot of good memories on my bookshelves ...
