' books should NOT be yanked from shelves -- because all they need is a little context on page 1 ... so says a woman who was raised by the man himself.-- one of Dr. Seuss' stepdaughters -- tells TMZ she doesn't think his work needs to be censored or stored away from public view ... which is essentially what Dr. Seuss Enterprises did on Monday.
Instead, Dimond suggests adding a disclaimer to the 6 books in question ... something a lot of media companies have been opting for lately for questionable or outdated material with racist depictions. The same thing should happen here, in Dimond's eyes anyway.She also has this to say about Seuss' work -- yes, some of his earlier publications and illustrations DID feature racist imagery, but his legacy shouldn't hinge on that alone ...
Dimond says Seuss publicly regretted some of his earlier work -- such as ads, comic strips and political cartoons he helped craft during the WWII era -- which featuredBut, there's a bigger reason the org bearing his name should hold off, per LD ... nobody who runs the place knew him personally. There are other Dr Seuss books that don’t include such blatant racism... “A chinaman who eats with sticks.”
Us Aussies grew up reading them 2. The world is just going silly
They won’t be pulled from schools. This is a FoxNews talking point.
? Before Law & Order...
Dnt close these books ... teach ! Ending things isn’t the answer .
The beginning of 1984
One of the the few books in my life that I read from beginning to end, and did not skip a few pages !
I COMPLETELY AGREE!
How About letting parents make that determination to purchase or to stop purchasing those books!!
No they should not be pulled people quit given in and stand up for themselves I just tell everyone the fuck off them books are not racist.
Nazi’s used to burn books!
Pretty soon we're not going to be able to say or do anything.
Who next the Marquis de Sade? gamesgone
“Political correctness is Fascism masquerading as good manners”- George Carlin
She is 100% CORRECT. This cancel culture BS is completely out of control. When will the lunacy stop?
First Mr. Potato Head, now Dr. Seuss!!! For the love of god people, settle the F**k down! We have taken diversity and inclusion far enough!!!
“One fish two fish a negro stole both fish “ - Dr. Seuss
Need to go my parents house, I grew up on those books. Gonna make a killing selling our Dr. Seuss collection on the black market.
Is that the stepdaughter?......
Present...
Well they’re racist
I more concerned with the transphobic plastic potato head. Did we regender that nazi yet?
No worries time to buy more Dr Seuss books
I agree
I agree! Dr. Suess, is a legend, the books have never changed. It's the people! So many of us were raised on these books, and no harm was done. keepthebooks
If you don't like it, don't buy it. For fuck sakes it's Dr.Suess calm the fuck down 🙄
I agree, but what’s important is everyone feels respected
cool
This is ridiculous!!!!!!
I thought this was his stepdaughter 🤣🤣🤣
I like hope on eggs and ham.ex.and wow..I fell sorry for all of us..
WHAT!! Dr Seuss? No..who came up with banning Dr Seuss
True. 💗
I hope everyone goes out and buys all Seuss books, this cancel culture sucks.
Again, if you don't like it, don't read it! Beyond that, you need to mind your own business! Quit pushing your ignorant and closed minded agenda on others.
Just when you think we can’t make ourselves look more ridiculous in the U.S., we have the Mr. Potato Head debacle and now this. The book should absolutely not be pulled.
Too many sensitive people now 🤦♂️
Recently my friend's baby was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia & needs a stem cell transplant. Jason & his wife are first-time parents caring for a sick baby & could use some help. If you are in a place to donate or share, it would be appreciated.
Ok
we dont care
Oh well if his STEPDAUGHTER says....😒
I love how we just get rid of shit that 1 person bitches about now. Why can't we just tell the pussy ass sensitive whiners to just not read the book or look at the statue or whatever it is that hurts their little feelings!!! getoverit
Of course. I do not know any white people who would give up money in order to help fight racial stereotypes that harm BIPOC. Just don’t know any is what I’m saying. They don’t even want to stop saying the n word.
What is wrong with these people?
lol, I agree, but ... what else would she say ?
Of course they shouldn't
She wants the money
Books should come with a lable saying what about it is culturally impactful or 'negative.' Art is art and we need to be responsible for what we teach our children. Book banning, nor burning, has ever been the answer. Wake up. Get informed. Education, reflection, repeat.
Learning lesson. No one especially now can live up the cancel culture standards. 🙄
Oh well I'm glad I got to enjoy his books as a kid, I give them much credit on my reading and writing. It's a shame.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS
Of course it shouldn’t be pulled
My kids will still read his books. They are blowing this out of control
I grew up with these, I never saw any raceism in them.please explain
Childhoods going to change, the childhoods we grasp on too even as adults. Man people so dam out there with their minds they think everything is a subliminal message smh
Why wasn’t he racist when Michelle Obama had him and a Seuss performance at the White House?
TOTALLY AGREE!!!
She, along with any sensible human being, thinks that.
Doesn’t wanna lose the royalty $$$
I agree! Dr. Seuss didn’t have any intention to make racist kids book! People are just so sensitive and it’s embarrassing to live in a society where people think it’s okay to cancel kids books!!
Why would they?
