Last week, 64 years after The Cat in the Hat‘s debut, the woke declared the legendary Dr. Seuss a racist.
It began when some useless, far-Left educator group known as Learning for Justice demanded that Dr. Seuss be removed from acknowledgment on “Read Across America Day” because of his, get this, “racial undertones.” Those marching orders weren’t just answered by some teachers, but even our president, Joe Biden.
Tuesday, Biden followed presidential tradition in proclaiming March 2, Dr. Seuss’ birthday, as “Read Across America Day.” Yet unlike his predecessors, he refused to mention Dr. Seuss, bowing to demands to forget the children’s author ever existed.
It gets better from here. Six of Dr. Seuss’ books will no longer be published because they got so offensive the country couldn’t take it anymore. According to CNN, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, If I Ran the Zoo, McElligot’s Pool, On Beyond Zebra, Scrambled Eggs Super!, and The Cat’s Quizzer are all done — gone, racist.
Scrambled eggs, huh?
I mean, look at this cover. How could schools have allowed children to witness this level of hate for so long?
Dr. Seuss Enterprises, which caved like most of corporate America, agreed to cancel If I Ran the Zoo over a claim that a white male character “illustrated dominance” by carrying a gun on a page.
The same study says the book has examples of “Orientalism and white supremacy.”
Uh, what?
And though there are many non-white characters in Dr. Seuss’ work — like Horton the blue elephant — Learning for Justice says that’s not good enough:
“It’s also important to note that each of the non-white characters is male and that they are all ‘presented in subservient, exotified, or dehumanized roles,’ especially in relation to white characters,” the organization says.
You might be wondering what makes the many blue and yellow characters white supremacists, but don’t ask that. In fact, don’t even think about it.
“Learning for Justice claims that anyone who defends Dr. Seuss’ problematic work is a racial ‘apologist’ and is making excuses for why ‘bigotry doesn’t matter,’” Chrissy Clark reports.
Well, there you have it. If you question the study, you are a “racial apologist” and a “bigot.”
Oh?
Last week, I asked whether Dr. Seuss could pull a Mr. Potato Head and survive cancellation orders. He didn’t.
My advice: before you burn the Dr. Seuss books and go buy other books for your children, check with Learning for Justice and Biden to make sure they are allowed.
“Oh the places [we’ll] Go!”
May God have mercy on us.
Keep this up and we are gonna make China look like saints. Seriously, there was a time when things may be pointed out for consideration and Americans had the choice to decide. Now we are censoring and canceling because some folks have nothing better to do than redefine racism and those who don’t have all day simply agree when being told their new thoughts.
Can the terrorist cult known as the DemocRat party make a list of what isn’t racist or white supremacist? It should be a very short list. These communist assholes hate everything.
If it would make them stop…I’d label every Marxist liberal and communist a white supremacist.
Even liberal France thinks we’re f***ing nuts!
The RNC should run non-stop commercials of Trump saying “Biden is selling your kids out to the teachers unions” and Obama praising Dr. Seuss on a loop until the mid-term elections.
Now their just mocking us..
If people don’t stand up to these lunatics and expose them stuff like this will keep happening.
the Truth is that the mob will keep cancelling stuff. this will further break apart any chance for minorities and new legal immigrants to prosper.
every single cultural item i was raised on is being destroyed by ‘feminism and reverse culture racism’.
over time the uninformed and low educated will simply have no reference to Actual History of anything. Zero.
(bet most don’t know what they don’t know)
Dr Seuss is legendary.
wake up America
Everything is done so we become communist China. Outkick should write on article on HR1 and the horror the Bill is
JESSE JACKSON READING GREEN EGGS AND HAM ON SNL STILL ONE THE FUNNIEST BITS EVER.
I had never seen that! When he pulled off his glasses, I busted out laughing! Thanks for that 🙂
What the holy hell is going on? These nuts won’t stop until people stand up to the nonsense. Biden has sold his soul so he won’t do shit about this nonsense. Who the fuck gave Learning for Justice the authority to tell me what books are acceptable to read? Our local tax dollars pay for public schools. We decide not Learning for Justice.
It’s all about a power grab for these fucking assholes.
I think the woke mob is literally under some demonic spell. They are destroying creativity under the false notion it’s white supremacy.
Oy. Quit giving them publicity. This is one or two schools. The twitterverse makes everything sound like the world is ending when in fact, it is only a handful and dumbasses.
it was one or two schools until Biden broke a tradition established by Obama of announcing National Reading Day while celebrating Dr. Seuss’s birthday. Of course this could be a coincidence and the fact that a bunch of leftists making racist claims about Dr. Seuss this month has nothing to do with it.
One fish two fish red fish blue fish?
Biden couldn’t READ a Seuss book these days so why say the word?
Why people are constantly brow-beaten by a 0.1% lunatic fringe that only a few years ago would have dismissed as insane is beyond me. With any luck this will lead to an explosion of Seuss book buying.
I am surprised the Bible is still selling on Amazon at this point
