You're okay with children's books that have been around for decades, ones that maybe you read to your kids (if you have kids). There is zero evidence that any child anywhere became a racist or a victim of racism because of Dr Seuss, but maybe kids decided they liked reading because of Dr Seuss - actually, a lot did. I know reading isn't important in the brave new world, but it's still important to some of us.
You seem to think all the book bannings and censorship of late comes from laissez-faire capitalism. Are you being purposefully obtuse?
I'll add that if they can cancel Dr Seuss (they want to pull more of his books) then they can cancel anyone.
But go ahead, keep mocking us, you're having fun after all.
Oddity, I am trying to speak sweet reason about what I view as a tempest in a teapot. I'm allowed to have that opinion.
There are serious free speech issues going on today. I'm not a fan of Julian Assange, but this is a really important case. If he is extradited to face trial in the US it will be a big test of the First Amendment and the Espionage Act.
Right now, dozens of journalists are getting detained or indefinitely jailed for reporting on corrupt regimes around the world. Oh, and then there is Alexei Navalny.
But, oh boy. The American "right" has a live one for sure when a publisher decides not to reprint 6 children's books that few of the Outraged Ones have even read-- at least not in the last 30 years.
The Seuss books are not banned. Publishers choose not to reprint books all the time. I'm sure a lot of Harlequin Romances are now out-of-print, but nobody gives a hoot about those.
This is laissez-faire capitalism. Companies modify their policies in keeping with consumer tastes all the time. But it's so much easier to blame the lefties for "cancel culture."
Whose culture is being cancelled?
p.s. I have two adult children and one adorable little grandson. We read together a lot when my children were young. Some Dr. Suess but many other books, as well.
