Dr. Seuss is amusing. Talking about Dr. Seuss is fun. Fun is a recreation in which conservatives often indulge. I'll bet you could learn about it on the leftist approved Google, however, Snopes might deny its existence.




What is also "pretty funny", (as in odd), is how Leftists always seem to believe that others are ruled by their emotions like they are.

QFT. What's on display here is the "y'all" being jerked around by the likes of Fox News and Newsmax. If I were a "ReTrumplican" I guess it would be more agreeable to think about Dr Seuss than about some other recent and current developments. More agreeable, but more "real"--not so much.

Dr Seuss Enterprises will no longer publish 6 (just 6) of his many (more than 60) illustrated children's books.

Earlier this week, a school district in Virginia made headlines for ALLEGEDLY banning books by Dr. Seuss.

BUT Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS), located in Ashburn, said it is NOT BANNING BOOKS by the famous children's author -- it's just discouraging a connection between "Read Across America Day," which was created to get kids excited about reading, and Dr. Seuss' birthday. Both fall on March 2, and have often been "historically connected" to each other, the district said in a statement.


It's not hard to scroll fairly quickly through one or more of these reports and get an actual sense of what it's about.

I guess there could be some particularly "woke" public school districts that have literally banned Dr Seuss. I would look first to San Francisco and Berkeley, for sure. They're not far away from here.

Interesting you think book burning is funny. What else do you find humorous? Re-education camps? Ovens? Maybe showers for anyone not on the left?

If post a cartoon of an American with a gun and and burger that is now rascist as it is a stereo type. Watch everything erode from here. Real problem is not enough people say it is nonsense.

I don't know, that sounds pretty much spot on to me.

The offending image of one book was African and grass skirts bone in nose. Another was a chinese man drawn with lines as eyes eating with chopsticks. Eventually you will all give in to all the new rules and remain indoors and do as told. Shut up be happy.

I am not stupid. Funny is right, that you are all worked up about something we are not. We are just observing truth.

The company is stopping production on it's own underselling product ? You might want to check your sanity.

Online retailer eBay is removing several Dr. Seuss books from its website that are no longer being published.
"At eBay, we have a strict policy against hate and discrimination to ensure our platform remains a safe, trusted and inclusive environment for our global community of buyers and sellers," eBay Corporate Communications Specialist Parmita Choudhury said. "We're currently sweeping our marketplace to remove these items. It can take some time to review all existing listings and provide education to impacted users. We're also monitoring the newly published list to be reviewed."

[color=red]They are no longer being published because of the Woke-A-Cola thugs.

My dear wife is a big fan of Dr Seuss books and over the decades she has managed to collect all of the books, including many duplicates.

Our Grandchildren have enjoyed her reading them to them as much as she loves re-reading them.

It's gratifying to know that we might now have a very valuable heirloom to hand down.

On the other hand I'll now have to re-evaluate our insurance policies to account for the sudden "windfall"....



Now that EBay will not sell them they will be worth more on the Black Market. Black Market ? Is that Racist, ?
