The late Theodor Seuss Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, was born 117 years ago this Tuesday. And his March 2 birthday has become synonymous with Read Across America Day, which encourages kids to embrace books and foster a love of reading.
In fact, the researchers paged through 50 Dr. Seuss books, and found that 43 out of 45 characters of color had “characteristics aligning with the definition of Orientalism.” What’s more, the two “African” characters drawn in these books displayed anti-Black characteristics, often with men of color presented in “subservient, exotified, or dehumanized roles,” according to the report.
First, some outlets have reported that, unlike former Presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama, President Biden did not mention Dr. Seuss in his presidential proclamation for “Read Across America Day.”

So corporate publishers making market-based publishing decisions make the Trump-humpers all snowflakey. Hilarious.

Banned Seuss site emerges to promote Dr. Seuss' six canceled books'Erasing books is insanity. Stand up for our common humanity,' the website says. Protect from what? NOBODY is 'erasing books.' The foundation--the ones responsible for Seuss's legacy--is making the choice to stop distribution because the times demand it. They are no longer relevant. No one publishes an encyclopedia from 1905 *for a reason*. We are all sons&birthday suit homelands.Samesex marriages messed Africa&the world economy.Time to refrain from embracing. People can be free from mistakes. Abortion is sadness .
