* Re: Dr. Seuss.

No the "Democrats" aren't censoring Dr. Seuss. The Seuss estate decided on their own to stop publication of a handful of low sellers with imagery they understandably don't particularly want to be associated with anymore.

Take it from me, a person who spent a big chunk of my professional life working in and shelf reading children's libraries: I looked at the cancelled titles and literally only recognized two of them. These are not popular books. I remember seeing the zoo one around, but I've never read it.

The only one with any real circulation of the set is Mulberry Street. When I was asked to read it to kids, I used to deliberately cover that character with my thumb, because it's not okay. Odds are if people really want this to keep publishing you could edit that out pretty easily Really though? Odds are if you check the titles you won't recognize most of them either.

I did look, and the zoo one? Wow! Yeah, I'd not show that to kids. Eww. I can see why the family doesn't want to be selling that. The other ones honestly didn't strike me as worth the effort.

I'm a lot happier remembering Seuss for the many, many good books he wrote instead of his most embarrassing efforts. If you see hysterical coverage about how democrats are yanking the Cat and the Hat out of libraries it's a big fat lie. cat in the Hat and the other popular titles aren't ceasing publishing and no one is calling for book burning. You'd think republicans would support the estate's free market decision to stop producing books that don't sell, but they are Grade A hypocrites.
