Now, Dr. Seuss is racist, and has become the latest victim of woke-mob cancel culture.
Six Seuss books - including "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street" and "If I Ran the Zoo" will no longer be published due to 'racist and insensitive imagery,' according to the organization which preserves and protects the author's legacy.
"These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong," Dr. Seuss Enterprises told The Associated Pres in a Tuesday statement coinciding with the late author's birthday (real name Theodor Seuss Geisel). "Ceasing sales of these books is only part of our commitment and our broader plan to ensure Dr. Seuss Enterprises' catalog represents and supports all communities and families," the statement continued.
The other books affected are "McElligot’s Pool," "On Beyond Zebra!," "Scrambled Eggs Super!," and "The Cat’s Quizzer."
What's more, President Biden removed all mentions of Seuss from Read Across America Day - held on Dr. Seuss' March 2 birthday.
The backlash against Seuss started in earnest after former First Lady Melania Trump gifted Dr. Seuss books to a Cambridge, Mass. elementary school.

The (made-up)issue has been bubbling on the proggy back burner for a while. Some of the few remaining conservatives on Twitter are having fun posting Kamala Harris and Michelle Obama tweets from years past celebrating the good doctor. The whole thing is a fine example of leftist pragmatism and doublethink. The Lorax is their environmentalist hero when convenient, but don't dare use Horton's "a person's a person, no matter how small" to refer to an unborn baby. Push the books to pretend that they want people to be artsy and imaginative, (proggies don't, they want you just smart enough to push the buttons in their factories, and your dreams limited to what they are willing to give you), but shoot them down for not covering centuries of different cultures in each and every illustration, and cause Dr. Seuss made some evil racist propaganda art for the WWII effort.
