If all you look for is racism, all you will find is racism.

“...took feedback from our audiences including teachers, academics and specialists in the field as part of our review process.”

The audiences ... the usual leftists. I am sure there weren’t really any non-leftists giving feedback. If they really took the feedback from their “audience”, it would be the children, and only those not corrupted by some leftist adult.

We are in a culture war - these are the modern day book burners.

Slightly off topic, but focusing on loss of access to intellectual property —

I am not a fan of “the cloud”.

People read books on Kindle — the Cloud.
People stream music — from the Cloud.
People stream movies — from the Cloud.

The Powerful people can make any of that stuff disappear — or they can alter it. And then you have to consume what they want to feed you — because all you have is The Cloud.

I prefer real media, that I can own, and that they can’t monkey with.

What publications of today will be banned in the future because someone made up new "standards" we should have met without knowing about them?
Probably a lot.

I do not like the Kulture Kancel Klan,

I do not like them, Sam I am.

I do not like the things they say,

I do not like them any way.

“Research in recent years has revealed strong racist undertones...”

I doubt it. If you have to do “research” to find it in plain sight, it isn’t there.

“racist”

The clothing and utensils are all authentic so they must be “offended” by the slits for eyes but... that’s how eyes are drawn in china too.

‘Critics also have faulted the “Curious George” books for their premise of a white man bringing home a monkey from Africa.’

WTF?!

I once saw a first edition, first printing copy of “And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street” on ABE Books.

It sold for $11,000.

This makes me sad.

As a child, these books (To Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street and McElligot’s Pool in particular) are treasured childhood memories. As a five- and six-year-old, I checked and rechecked these books out of the school library dozens of times each. The sense of wonder about what could be, right there on my street or up in the hills above my house was unending. I read these books to my children and to my grandchildren.

I weep for future generations who will not have access to these treasures.

“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.

They're going to cease publication of books to support books. How Orwellian.
