No one is safe from the cancel culture of the left, as evidenced by the latest victim — beloved children’s author Dr. Seuss. However, a short trip into the past reveals that the party who now accuses Dr. Seuss of racism had a very different message just a few years ago.
In 2015, then-resident Barack Obama was .. very much a fan of Theodor Seuss Geisel’s work.
“Pretty much all the stuff you need to know is in Dr. Seuss,” he said to a smiling group of White House interns. .
Obama didn’t stop with that broad statement. He went into specific details about how Dr. Seuss‘ work teaches us important values and life lessons..
“It’s like the Star-Belly Sneetches, you know?” he said in reference to Dr. Seuss’ “The Sneetches and Other Stories.”
“We’re all the same, so why would we treat somebody differently just because they don’t have a star on their belly?”
He added that “Horton Hatches the Egg” teaches the value of responsibility because Horton cares for the egg while the mother, Mayzie, goes off to Palm Beach to avoid her responsibility.
“All I’m saying is that as you get older, what you will find is that the homespun, basic virtues that your mom or your dad or folks you care about or admire taught you about hard work, being responsible, being kind, giving something back, being useful, working as a team — turns out, it’s all true.”
...
Obama made similar comments in 2018
....
Children need to read works like those of Dr. Seuss that teach truly important values.
...
The reason conservatives feel the need to fight back against cancel culture .. is because we wish to protect the values and truths that he stood for.

And Obama is still in charge.
He doesn’t care. Whatever serves The Revolution.
Okay, if we can Cancel Obama that would be a great benefit. Also our collection of Dr. Seuss books have great value, maybe sell to buy a new pistol or two...
Bammy was pretty successful by giving the impression of just showing up.
Obama taken down by Dr Seuss endorsements
Would love to see it
He also said everyone wants to be Donald Trump back in the 90s.
But they havent gone after him for that
For what it’s worth, Rudolph Steiner was in favor of raising the age at which children are taught to read so they wouldn’t have to start out with stuff like Dr. Seuss.
ABSOLUTEY
Obama pushed hate speech? Better teardown his statues and rename all the stuff named after him.
Except Obamacare, that can stay.
Interesting.
The guy is a dunce.
Is Barry the Muslim being banned from all social media for this despicable act??
I find it perfectly believable that Obama never read anything headier than Hop On Pop.
I certainly hope that the Queen of Man’s Country didn’t learn about reefer and rump-rangin’ from Dr. Seuss...
Time to go after Disney. Mickey and Minnie need to be replaced with Mxnckie.
