books have been beloved by children and adults for generations, but 6 of them will no longer be published because they are racially offensive ... according to the business that preserves the author's legacy.
Dr. Seuss Enterprises says these 6 Seuss books -- including"And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street" and"Scrambled Eggs Super!" --"portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong."The company says it made the decision to cease sales on these books -- which also include"If I Ran the Zoo,""McElligot’s Pool,""On Beyond Zebra!" and"The Cat’s Quizzer" -- after consulting with educators and reviewing its catalog.
Dr. Seuss -- born Theodor Seuss Geisel -- has come under increased scrutiny over the years as his history of racist and anti-Semitic work has been uncovered. A study of 50 Seuss books in 2019 found 43 of 45 characters of color had characteristics aligning with"Orientalism" and 2"African" characters had anti-Black qualities.
Of the 6 books being pulled ..."The Cat's Quizzer" and"If I Ran the Zoo" were cited in the study specifically for examples of Orientalism and white supremacy.
what next the bible ?
This is so far behind us,quit living and bringing up the past these people and images are not apart of our lives unless you want it to be. This is 2021 move forward in the future. Treat each other with respect and kindness,don't judge by a person's color.
These books are now going for $200+ on eBay.
Unfuckingbelievable
A lot of people are soo mad in these replies
This👇👇👇👇👇👇
What about rap music It’s ok for them to use the N word after every other word, talk about beating or killing people. Also, talk about women in a sexual manner but yet, people are offended over Dr Suess...give me a break.
Only people saying this is outrageous... are the ones who were drawn Correctly 🤷🏾♂️

Children will be lost. Can’t wait for the new text books made of Microsoft bologna
Wow
Funny how people are offended that things that offend others are being canceled or replaced. Says a lot about you.
Y’all are acting like people are being over sensitive as if he wasn’t a known racist.
I’ve never seen these let alone read them. Never noticed things like this growing up. I grew up with a rainbow 🌈 of friends and family and love everyone.
I think this is a bit extreme. Who made this decision for all if us?
Fuck cancel culcture mfs, nazis started by canceling and burning books that they considered are not fit for their agenda. Books, Statues... rings any bell?
Its about the image not the author, idiots. For decades, Robert Guillaume's Butler 'Benson', The Jeffersons' dry cleaners, Gary Coleman's orphan, Sanfords junk yard, and the like, were the only permissible portrayal of Blacks in media. Its not labelling Seuss himself, dummies.
They will be top sellers for sure
Dignity comes to mind in life these days. It’s almost like this world is trying evey which way to create the perfect world. There’s a very good reason why they say we must remember history and it’s passed actions So it doesn’t repeat it’s self. Nothing is perfect in life.
I still have mine since a kid.
This is getting ridiculous!! This is one of the reasons why America is losing its freedom!
What a joke !
eBay going crazy right now
Stupid he was a liberal and the characters in his books weren’t even people they were creatures
This goes right with those buttheads that wanted to tear down statues and change the names of colleges and military bases... utter bullshit!
Give me a fucking break.
DAM SKIPPY YA Evil BITCHES .. & his ass made these cards & cartoons., yeaa i have the recipes thanx to the general GeneralSeti 🔥🔥🔥🔥
People realise the grinch is safe? Why is everyone crying?
Enough of this crap already, and any kids in my family will read those books just the same as the last 40 years of kids have!
This is such bullshit!
Can't cancel culture. We philosophise about issues and move from there; throwing about cancellations makes them fashionable if anything. Try prohibition again 😑
😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐 !?
54 more books to choose from
Why dont they cancel all the rappers who glorify women abusers and violence?
It’s really getting ridiculous
Think about how much the definition of racism has changed just in the past few years, or the past few months. Now imagine 70 years. We're setting up a system where everything that came before us is just by modern standards and must be incinerated. It's a sickness.
This is ridiculous.
Y’all really cancelled Dr Seuss 😭
It wasn’t any of the iconic ones anyways
