SIX books (out of a total of SIXTY) have been withdrawn by the company because they portray ''negative steriotypes of non white characters'' .. and it isn't a good idea to put these ideas into the heads of young children.
Dr Seuss is not the only author who this has happened to ..
Some of Enid Blyton's Noddy and Big Ears books were withdrawn because the 'bad guys' were Gollywogs .. and in the Famous Five books the 'bad guys' were nearly always 'foreign looking'.

Not having read the books for decades I can not remember what they said but obviously they have something in them that offends someone somewhere.

How about you get your facts straight. The company that owns the estate removed 6 books because of images in them that portrayed negative stereotypes of non-white characters. Of the 6 most people never even heard of 4 of them. You cons are so easily manipulated into outrage manufactured by the propaganda you listen to .

Jeff D is correct and there is nothing racist about the Dr. Seuss books. It is just leftist BS and part of their effort to establish their ability to destroy anyone/anything by calling them/it "racist". There are no "fact checks" with regard to allegations of racism.

They're just more dog whistles that only liberals can hear. If you're a liberal, then no explanation is necessary; if you're not a liberal, then no explanation is possible.
