I still love Dr Seuss. I will continue to read him to my grandchildren. I read his books to my children. My Mom read them to me.

Of the 6 books taken down, I only recognized one. And it was the least favorite of my kids.

Good on them!



"The library, which serves Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island, said it does not censor books and will keep the controversial titles in circulation until they are no longer in suitable shape to lend out, a spokeswoman said.

“As with all public libraries the New York Public Library does not censor books,” library spokeswoman Angela Montefinise said.

NY Public Library keeping Dr. Seuss books in circulation

The New York Public Library will keep six controversial Dr. Seuss books on the shelves despite this week’s decision to cease their publication due to racist imagery. The library, which serves…

I assume that activists will simply check out those books and never return them.

We are now a land of censorship.

It will get worse and worse with each passing year of the Harris and (ostensibly) Biden administration.

To liberals public libraries are gigantic Roach Hotels.

Books get checked out but they never get back in.

Gotta keep those home fires burning, eh?

I have spent time in libraries all over the eastern US. I saw far more liberals there than anyone.

Of course.

FREE STUFF!

Conservatives BUY books.

Dr Seuss was explicitly against racism. he wrote a whole stack of books against racism

he got his start drawing cartoons against the Nazis, and against racism. Here is one of his works.

CANCEL THIS!

And so is this:

But there were other stereotypes on propaganda posters during the war, I remember seeing one with German stereotypes. Hitler wasn't on it and it wasn't drawn by Dr. Seuss.

Here's another Dr. Seuss cartoon before he got famous:

The one calling interred Japanese-Americans spies is pretty bad:

But lastly, banning his books isn't a thing. He just wasn't mentioned on Read Across America Day, and 6 of his 45 books aren't being reprinted. I'm not aware of them being yanked from library shelves.

Fahrenheit 451 is the American's left instruction manual.

First they came for the conservatives on campus, now they're coming for the books.

Who is they? Who forced the Dr Seuss organization to stop publishing more copies of those 6 books?

The Estate decided to stop publishing, no cancel culture here.

 

[debbiedowner]

Wow...this is just amazing.

Now watch...some liberal book burning Nazis will destroy the Dr Suess books somehow.

Wrong.

This is a lie.

The titles are being unilaterally discontinued by the publisher, having nothing to do with ‘liberals.’

The notion that ‘liberals’ advocate for book burning is also a lie.

You loons are are in the midst of culture cancel and you expect us to believe that?

Fckn dumbass, canceling Dr Seuss? Beyond dumbfckery

You're the dumb fuckery, no one cancelled the estate decided to stop publishing. Jesus Christ go back to your Q meeting, freak.

At least conservatives are consistent at being liars.

There is no ‘they’ – no one ‘came’ for conservatives on campus, no one is ‘coming’ for books, liberals in particular.

And Fahrenheit 451 was written as a critique of McCarthyism and the right’s use of lies and censorship to attack political opponents – a tactic rightists continue to use today.

Conservatives are as ignorant as they are dishonest.

They never bother to do some research before they open their mouths and stick dick into it.

If you still have that one it might worth much more than what you paid. Saw one yesterday either on ebay or amazon for $6000.

That doesn't mean someone's going to pay that much for one. I bet most of those titles aren't even rare.

The New York Public Library is a beacon of sanity in a world going batshit crazy.

Probably not but still wish we would have saved some of my kids books from their childhood if our lab back in those days that ate everything in sight from LP records to books, he just might have ate them, lol. It's been over 40 years so can't remember.
