6 Dr Seuss Books Pulled Due to Racist Content

[Ghoti Ichthus]

Like many here, I grew up with Dr. Seuss books. 6 have been pulled by the publisher due to alleged racist content.

I think all the titles are newer books because I never heard of any of them:

And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street
If I Ran the Zoo
McElligot’s Pool
On Beyond Zebra
Scrambled Eggs Super!
The Cat’s Quizzer.


I'm glad Green Eggs and Ham wasn't on the list cuz that was my fav as a kid

How The Grinch who stole Christmas is mine....

They're finding out now that no Christmas is coming. They're just waking up, I know just what they'll do. Their mouths will hang open a minute or two, Then the Whos down in Whoville will all cry, "Boo Hoo."
"He puzzled and puzzled till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. Maybe Christmas, he thought...doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps...means a little bit more!"
Welcome, Christmas, bring your cheer. Cheer to all Whos far and near. Christmas Day is in our grasp so long as we have hands to clasp.
And then the true meaning of Christmas came through, And the Grinch found the strength of ten Grinches plus two.

Sadly though it is ok to teach that little Johnny or Susie has two mommies or two daddies.

Green eggs and ham, and The Grinch....both are green. Why aren't Martians complaining of racism?

And Smurfs are blue! And the things in the movie Avatar are blue!! Only blue! No yellow smurfs! And no red people in Avatar! INTOLERENT! RACIST! WHERE'S THE OUTRAGE!! I'm beside myself, I can't breath, I can't, just can't....

They're selling so high on E-Bay. People are snapping them up at high prices. I have a few laying around that are so old, from the early 70s I think.

Guess I'm ancient, like Methuselah, then [sigh]

On Amazon Seuss was among the top 42 in the "movers and shakers" category of sales. Wow.

I wonder what why they don't pick on the older white skinny men wearing glasses? Their own actions prove who the real racists are...

"If I Ran the Zoo" contains images of two men said to be from Africa who are shirtless, shoeless, drawn with thick lips and wearing grass skirts while carrying an exotic animal,.

Sooo stupid. I actually just read "To think I saw it on Mulberry street" to my young kids last week. It began a good discussion on lying.

I'd certainly like to cancel stupidity in this nation...and around the world.

I have some from the sixties . . .

The higher price I saw is 645 for one book. It’s crazy but I guess these will be collectibles soon.

Shel Silverstein will be next. And when that happens I will start throwing shoes, even if it is un-Christian

I bought some books so I’m part of it although at cheap prices on amazon.
