Theodor Seuss Geisel was an American children's author, political cartoonist, illustrator, poet, animator, and filmmaker.
Six, yes only Six, of Dr. Seuss’s books by Theodor Seuss Geisel will no longer be published because of their use of the perception of offensive imagery, according to the business that oversees the estate of the children's author and illustrator.
Dr. Seuss Enterprises said in this statement:
“These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong. (Because of racist and insensitive imagery)
The discontinued titles are:
“McElligot's Pool,” “On Beyond Zebra!,” “Scrambled Eggs Super!,” “The Cat's Quizzer,” “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street,” and “If I Ran the Zoo.”
This is a subjective decision and opinion on the part of the estate and family who owns the rights to the books. They believe that those few books are still hurtful, and it is their right to make that decision, a decision we respect.
This decision was not tied to the Biden administration or the Democrats as the GOP claimed. It was a purely non-political decision, devoid of any political implications.
