BOSTON (AP) — Six Dr. Seuss books — including “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street” and “If I Ran the Zoo” — will stop being published because of racist and insensitive imagery, the business that preserves and protects the author’s legacy said Tuesday.
“These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong,” Dr. Seuss Enterprises told The Associated Press in a statement that coincided with the late author and illustrator’s birthday.
“Ceasing sales of these books is only part of our commitment and our broader plan to ensure Dr. Seuss Enterprises’ catalog represents and supports all communities and families,” it said.

By Dr. Seuss.
Shame on them!!!
(Really)
“Banned in Boston” should be a good selling point for these books then.
I thought Seuss was a lib. lib on lib book burning. Interesting.
Bump
In 2017, a school librarian in Cambridge, Massachusetts, criticized a gift of 10 Seuss books from first lady Melania Trump, saying many of his works were “steeped in racist propaganda, caricatures, and harmful stereotypes.”
Some cultures are more modern and more advanced than others.
But for lefturd loons dat reality be raysis
These folks have too much time on their hand.
I'm wondering what exactly is offensive to these low-thinking morons. The management of Seuss' legacy should be taken away from them.
Yep. His “Butter Battle Book” comes to mind.
Even more interesting. Was never a fan but his books were ubiquitous with some humour and rhyme.
It's ticking away with their sanity
Heard on talk radio this morning.
A generation raised on Southpark and Beevis and Butthead
is now offended by Dr. Seuss. (facepalm)
I would expect morning less from a country with Joe Chi Minh at the helm.
Dr. Seuss and his wife were livid over the fact that “Horton Hears a Who” was used to promote Right to Life. The guy was super talented, but a creep in RL.
