Books written in the 1930s. Dr. Seuss himself has been dead over thirty years. It’s absolutely ridiculous these books aren’t public domain right now. The government made intellectual copyright laws ridiculous all to protect Mickey Mouse.

If they were public domain, this whole thing wouldn’t be an issue right now. The free market would decide their fate, because nobody would print these books if they weren’t profitable because everyone hated their racism that much and never bought them.

I don’t believe it the “books” per se. Yeah it sucks the good Doc is taking one in the knickers. However, control/regulationl of these books, or any books the great Harvard muckie mucks deem wrong, is the issue. At least to me.

That pretty much fits many issues I feel very passionate about.

IOW, if it was actually about the books, why hasn’t the Communist Manifesto been banned?

The Neanderthals haven’t demanded it because we understand that both successes and failure of human history should be preserved. So that our progeny learn exactly how wrong evil ideologies are.

idk, maybe McCarthy wanted it banned, or the left says he did. I wonder how history will record America’s great revival.
