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.

Dr. Seuss was an American author, children's author, political cartoonist, illustrator, poet, animator, screenwriter, and filmmaker. He effectively used symbols to represent ideas or qualities and is known for his work writing and illustrating more than 60 books. His work includes many of the most popular children's books of all time, selling over 600 million copies and being translated into more than 20 languages by his death.

Ted Geisel was born in 1904 and took the Dr. Seuss moniker as he began writing cartoons for Look, The Saturday Evening Post, and several other magazines in 1927.

Some of his early work was criticized for containing racist images, but his later results show an evolution of values and beliefs. It seems clear that he evolved when you look at his book, The Sneetches, published in 1961. It is composed of four separate stories with themes of tolerance, diversity, and compromise

Those who knew him believed that if he were alive today, he would have jumped at the chance to be a part of the country’s evolving dialogue about diversity and inclusion.
