Dr. Seuss Is Cancelled! (Biden Admin Update)

100% FED-UP:

Cancel culture has come for one of the most celebrated American children’s authors of our time. Yes, it’s true; Dr. Seuss is now considered too controversial in Loudon County, Virginia.

This isn’t the first time that Dr. Seuss has been targeted. In 2017, a Massachusetts elementary school librarian claimed the illustrations in Dr. Seuss’s books were examples of “racist propaganda.”

Obama said Dr. Seuss “used his incredible talent to instill in his most impressionable readers universal values we all hold dear.”

“Through a prolific collection of stories, he made children see that reading is fun, and in the process, he emphasized respect for all; pushed us to accept ourselves for who we are; challenged preconceived notions and encouraged trying new things; and by example, taught us that we are limited by nothing but the range of our aspirations and the vibrancy of our imaginations,” Obama wrote.

“And for older lovers of literature, he reminded us not to take ourselves too seriously, creating wacky and wild characters and envisioning creative and colorful places,” he added……
