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...

In other words, propaganda is used to influence people psychologically in order to alter social perceptions. In
the case of This is the Enemy, the purpose was to change American perceptions of the Japanese (Figure 1). One strategy used to accomplish this was fear tactic. When viewing the image, the thick lines and dark colors combine to create an ominous tone. The stark white of the teeth and eyes on both faces highlights their extremely emotional expressions: one of anger and menace on the Japanese soldier, and one of utter fear and terror on the woman. The large, looming position...

This is not some confected culture-war spat. Woke
zealots want to purge culture, and they’re succeeding. Every 2 March is Read Across America Day, a day to encourage children to read. It is also known as National Dr Seuss Day, as it is celebrated on the birthday of the beloved author. Dr Seuss’s classic books, such as The Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham, have instilled the joy of reading in generations of children. And for decades, US presidents have made Dr Seuss central to the day’s festivities. But not this year. In his presidential proclamation marking...

A 2017 tweet from Vice President Kamala Harris has resurfaced mentioning Dr. Seuss by name and quoting him, four years before her own administration would strip his name from Read Across America Day. Harris was a senator when she sent out the tweet, dated March 2, 2017, in which she wished the
famed children’s book author a happy birthday. “Happy birthday, #DrSeuss! ‘The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go,’” the California senator wrote at the time.

America is entering its very own Mao-like Cultural Revolution. The iconoclasm of the left’s culture war isn’t a side effect, it’s the point.Dr. Seuss has been cancelled. Some
of his work has been deemed racist, and we can’t have that. On Tuesday, the entity that oversees the estate of Theodor Seuss Geisel announced it would no longer publish six of Geisel’s books because they “portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong.”Among the works now deemed unfit for children are Geisel’s first book under the pen name Dr. Seuss, “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street,”...

Today is a day that will live in infamy. On
March 2, 2021 we learned that the some of the works of Dr. Seuss have been banned by President Joe Biden for our National Read Across America Day. Dr. Seuss, the nom de plume of Theodor Seuss Geisel, was a cherished American children's author, political cartoonist, illustrator, poet, animator, and filmmaker. Like McGuffy’s Reader, Dr. Seuss’ work served as a compelling introduction for young children to books and reading. That was, in fact, the reason for National Read Across America Day. Too many young people aren’t introduced to the importance...

Liberals said they wanted diversity. But
they just canceled several Dr. Seuss books because they depicted native people in their native clothing. Make up your mind, liberals. Is diversity good, or is diversity racist?This article from Associated Press says that one of Dr. Seuss’s books was canceled because “an Asian person is portrayed wearing a conical hat, holding chopsticks, and eating from a bowl.”That’s not racist.It says another one of his books was canceled because it had “a drawing of two bare-footed African men wearing what appear to be grass skirts.”That’s not racist.I thought liberals were in favor of diversity.Why...

In light of newfound censorship of the children's author, some are flocking to eBay, and many purchasers are willing to dole out thousands of dollars to get their hands on what may be the last copies of some of Dr. Seuss's famous books. Following

Classic Dr. Seuss books are flying off the shelves at Amazon after the late author’s publisher moved to stop printing six titles containing “hurtful” imagery, driving up sales for one work by a staggering 5.7 million percent. A
decision by Dr. Seuss Enterprises to scrap the six books on Tuesday over what it called “hurtful and wrong” stereotypes appears to have sparked a buying frenzy on the e-retail giant, with the defunct ‘McElligot's Pool’ surging to the top spot on Amazon’s “Movers & Shakers” section.

It's no secret that President Obama is an avid reader. But,
he just got even more cred with book-lovers by praising everybody's favorite children's author: yep, Obama loves Dr. Seuss. In a Q&A session with interns, Obama admitted that "pretty much all the stuff you need to know is in Dr. Seuss." And of course, he's spot on. Obama won his way into the hearts of book nerds last year when he declared that reading novels made him a better citizen. (And considering he's the leader of the entire country, he's pretty much the best citizen there is.) Obama claims...

President Biden has omitted Dr. Seuss from Read Across America Day which is always held on March 2nd, the same day as the children's author's birthday. Biden
continued a presidential tradition by making a proclamation that declared Tuesday to be Read Across America Day, but he broke the tradition of his predecessors by leaving out any mention of Dr. Seuss. Both former President Barack Obama and former President Donald Trump both recognized Dr. Seuss' contributions several times in their proclamations each year.

Ok, so, Dr. Seuss books are now racist. – No, I’m not making that up: From the story at DailyWire: A national educators organization is telling schools to avoid reading Dr. Seuss because the children’s books allegedly have “racial undertones.” For

A newly elected member of the St. Louis County Council chose to be sworn in with a Dr. Seuss book rather than a Bible. Earlier this month, Democrat Kelli Dunaway handily beat Republican Alderman Amy Poelker for the 2nd District seat, garnering 60 percent of the vote. Since
election regulations don't require politicians to swear their oath of office on a Bible, Dunaway opted to lay her hand on Dr. Seuss' 1990 bestseller Oh, the Places You'll Go!Her son and daughter held the book for during her swearing-in ceremony on August 13.
