I hope all the people who bought them will be jailed. This is how dictatorial censorship works right?

Just don't ban Green Eggs and Ham

Why the quote marks around “hurtful”? Wouldn’t you be hurt if you were caricatured as “slant eyes”?

Great campaign!

Well, thats how sell guns....scare people into thinking they are going to be taken away...

Starting to wonder if it wasn’t just a big publicity stunt. They could have pulled them quietly and few would have noticed.

LMAO! Cancel Culture backfired.

I’ve never heard of these books!

One fish Two fish Racist Blue fish

Fox crowd so angry about Dr Seuss choosing to retire a few lousy selling books that instead of a ban, they buy more books?!

Cancel culture sucks! It’s beyond absurd that even Dr. Seuss is getting cancelled now...People need to toughen up

They are collectibles now.

I never read these four. Three of them don’t even sound familiar. I read well known ones, Cat in the Hat, Hop on Pop etc...

I had the 3 good ones already. Green Eggs and Ham, The Places You'll Go and The Sneetches. DontWhatAboutMe

🤔 Books tend to have a very long 'shelf life'

the love for r*cist shit, the humanity has failed

Just say No.

Of course

Awe the snowflakes are at it again.

I love when the right uses the term cancel culture. Like they spent the last 50 years trying to get certain rock groups canceled (twisted sister) tv shows (married with children) video games (gta) but now it’s a problem because it’s their things getting attacked. Well boo hoo.

ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ɪs ɴᴏᴛ ʀɪɢʜᴛ

I was thinking of buying a couple tbh

The so-called cancel culture it's a tremendous bullshit.

Racist love racist memorabilia

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 .
