One of the offenses was depicting African natives in their native jungle attire instead of Brooks Brothers suits.

lefturd loonism = nihilism = negation of reality + negation of evaluations and value judgments

I’d like to see some of the allegedly offensive images before all copies of the books are burned.

It is racists who are obsessed with race ... who see racism in every thing and in everybody.

I’m thinking I’d better get my vintage Dr. Seuss books into a safety deposit box - but I no longer trust the banks.

They’ll have to go into a 1,000 pound fire- flood-proof safe.

I don’t want to be burned at 451 Fahrenheit with my Dr. Suess books.

So true, they had slaves in the Bible, women could not vote and were treated like chattel. Plus Mary couldn’t abort, when she got pregnant before given permission by the Sanhedrin.

This is the essence of our current cancel culture’s standard, or lack thereof--Judging people from a bygone era by some people’s own contemporary leftist standards.

some of the works of Dr. Seuss have been banned by President Joe Biden for our National Read Across America Day.

This author can’t get even the most basic facts right. Biden failed to mention Dr. Seuss when making the Read Across America Day proclamation but the government didn’t ban anything.

Seuss’ estate made the decision to stop selling six books long ago and just announced it on his birthday.

Isn’t just about every movie character based on stereotypes? Isnt that where most of America learned their stereotypes from? Where’s the cancel culture’s attack on Hollywood?
