Geisel would have been the first to support this.

Ironically, though the charges of racism in his books are silly, this is inexcusable:
He's German. How is this any more sensible than interning Germans?

At the same time, this is what he thought of America First, a group supported by JFK, Gerald Ford, any several patriotic senators:
(This was published in July, 1941 and has no relation to a tiny party from 1944 which was probably a black-flag op against Republicans. The group he attacks here supported WWII after Pearl Harbor.)

Looking for experts amongst educators is not very broadminded.
They’ll be coming for Peanuts soon too. Charles Schultz had a character in there named Franklin. I don’t remember much about Franklin, but I am sure the idiots on the left will find something to condemn there.

You can see here where Dr. Seuss' true loyalties were during the war, he loved him some Uncle Joe

I take that cartoon as being critical of US Aid to Russia.

I never liked Dr Seuss books when I was a kid. Their weird. No wonder you couldn't get past Seuss.

It was a subtle dig on the poster saying “he never liked Dr. Seuss as a kid”, then proceeding to commit a grammatical error in using “their weird” instead of “they’re weird”, which says perhaps he *should* have read more Dr. Seuss as a kid.

Because they have been conditioned to think this way, whenever Leftists/Communists/Democrats hear the word “monkey” used in the same sentence with “Africa” or “black” or the name of any “black” person they think it’s racist when drawing any correlation between those words is itself the height of racist thinking.

When I started school it was the "Dick, Jane and Sally" readers. My mother was an elementary school teacher and had a collection of those books, which I inherited. She said plenty of kids learned to read from those books just fine - the modern "readers" didn't do the job.
Maybe I should put them in a bank vault, along with my vintage Dr. Suess books that I had as a child - before the Kommissars come after them for being racist and sexist (no trans characters).

Long night leading to a rough morning. I see irony their. LOL
As a child I never looked at Dr. S as educational, which most probably was the desired outcome. A direct effect for me was introduction to poetry ....some day my kids will find my stash and I’ll be famous. hopefully no one will point out the bad spelling. LOL

They should ban THE LORAX. Too ‘woke’ for me. All about mankind destroying the environment.
