In 2015 some Dr Suess books got pulled from print/sale because they featured racist caricatures. But the hysteria over cancel culture wasn't developed enough. The same thing just happened again but now it's an emergency. Even more crazy? It happened in like 2005 too. Every so often these books have been quietly pulled out of production and it's never been a problem. I expect production to begin on them again and in another 5-10 years we do this again.
Apparently the trigger for this was eBay adding the now-unpublished Dr Seuss books to some list of "offensive materials" that aren't allowed to be auctioned on their site.
They of course still have auctions on copies of Mein Kampf.
It's very stupid, eBay is being stupid, and the chud reaction is even stupider.
The publisher pulled a book of his old WW2-era racist political cartoons, or something like that IDK. Whatever it is conservatives are really mad about it.
Were people even cancelling Dr Seuss? lmao

I've always had a soft spot for Mulberry Street, but beyond that, the books were pretty obscure ones.

They used to call it political correctness gone mad, I guess cancel culture is the new buzz word
Ceasing publication of books that aren't popular just happens anyway regardless of any racist drawings as well
