The book publisher is the one who pulled the books with the stereotyped characters. Only six of the books, I think.

The "Babar the Elephant", "Curious George" and "Little House on the Prairie" books are in trouble too.

You can buy 2 of the banned Dr. Seuss books now for $15,000.00 plus $17.60 shipping on Ebay. A week or so ago they were worth just a few dollars. Forget bitcoin, gold and silver as an investment, we should buy up the next soon to be banned books and sell them after the democrats ban them.

Ironically, he actually WAS thinking of race and racism when he wrote some of those books. He was a liberal who abhorred racism.....so the message he tried to convey was we are all more alike than we are different. If these people knew anything at all they would want more Dr. Suess not less.

Society would, however, benefit greatly from less Cardi B.

Which schools?

Isn’t this a publisher decision?
A silly one yes, but nobody is banning the books.

The publisher just will no longer make new copies of 6. “Schools banning” is a typical over the top way of interpreting the decision.

Bantam Books edited Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" for language and references to abortion. Old Ray blew a gasket and got them recalled. I'd bet he's next.

But, “Hoot” ” is mandatory reading in some public grade schools.

Cant be so. The Catholics are the largest democrat voting block in the country.

Apparently an oriental with slanted eyes in Dr Suess is what triggered them.

Not being banned. The publisher chose not to reprint six books containing stereotyped characters.

The wife has every book he ever wrote. She'd sell for that!

They also celebrate Dr.Seuss' birthday every year in the entire PUBLIC school.

They already are teaching an alternate history and have been for a while. pressuring a publisher to stop printing certain books is very, very similar to banning.
