When will this nutbaggery end? I think these idiots have already gone way to far with this idiocy. The backlash is coming and it will be massive.
The sales of six Dr. Seuss books will cease over racist and insensitive imagery, according to the business that preserves and protects the author’s legacy.

I'm not sure what the issue here is. The people who control Geisel's estate said, "Yup, these books have to go".
Let's not forget, Seuss was a product of his time. Before he wrote children's books, he wrote anti-Japanese Propaganda.

The books that are being pulled have images like this.

Um... yeah.
Now, on the larger issue, are books written in the 1950's appropriate today? Do they appeal to today's more diverse audience. That's a discussion worth having. A lot of Seuss' works are pretty good at teaching the right lessons about tolerance, the meaning of Christmas, trying new things or taking care of the environment. (Wow, these are supposed to be kid's books, right?)
