Dr. Seuss

I remember reading Dr. Seuss books to my sons.  They loved them and they were fun to read.  I used green food color to make green eggs and ham once.  The books usually had a good moral to each story as well as being fun to read.  Some taught about conserving resources.  They all promoted a color blind society.  They were highly endorsed for 80 years.

National Read Across America Day was March 2, 2021.  This day was established in 1998 by the National Education Association to get kids reading.  The date was set to coincide with Dr. Seuss’s birthday.  The books and the day of celebration were endorsed by President Obama. 

Now the publisher of Dr Seuss has announced six of the books were being dumped because the WOKE Left claims they are racist or insensitive.  EBay has even removed these books from their site.  This is just plain ignorant. 

If you look at the banned books it is even more stupid.  These books depict different races, regions, cultures, history, and dress accurately for the time of publications.  They show that all the people of the world are equal despite their differences.  It is a ridiculous stretch to say they are racist. 

We can buy Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf and the Unabomber’s manifesto on line, but not some of Dr. Seuss’s books.  Some universities have courses requiring reading Mein Kampf.  How long are we going to put up with this irrational agenda by the Left?  They are doing everything they can to divide this country with race.

Banning or burning books has never been good or had a good outcome.  Banning books has only been done by tyrannical governments.  The object is to eliminate any form of free speech.  Tyrants have to control what people think in order to take away any form of republic or democracy. 

I saw one snowflake say Dr. Seuss had over 60 books so what difference did six make?  One book would be too much.  This is how the Left takes away our freedoms.  They do it a little at a time.  The snowflake in question will not complain until they take away a freedom that is important to him or her, and it will happen, but then it is too late.

As George Orwell describes in 1984, the Thought Police are coming for anyone that does not comply.  They will come for you too.  Are we going to wait until it is too late?
