Now Dr. Seuss is canceled: Schools drop his books because of 'racial undertones'

A Virginia school system has dropped Dr. Seuss from an annual event to encourage reading as district leaders accused the beloved author's books having 'strong racial undertones.'
The Loudon County schools will shift the 'emphasis' of the annual Read Across America day on March 2 away from Seuss and toward books more 'inclusive and diverse and reflective of our student community,' a spokesman said.
quote:
His comments come following a 2019 report called 'The Cat is Out of the Bag: Orientalism, Anti-Blackness, and White Supremacy in Dr. Seuss's Children's Books'.
That report states: 'White supremacy is seen through the centering of Whiteness and White characters, who comprise 98% (2,195 characters) of all characters.
'Notably, every character of color is male. Males of color are only presented in subservient, exotified, or dehumanized roles. This also remains true in their relation to White characters.
'Most startling is the complete invisibility and absence of women and girls of color across Seuss' entire children’s book collection.

White male author writes books about people he most often comes into contact with...more at 10 pm on this shocking revelation.

Can we just stop dancing around the subject and come out and declare every single white person in this country a klan-supporting white supremacist racist bigot nazi that needs to be lined up and shot?
I mean that's where this is heading ultimately anyway.

Start home schooling your kids in revolt. The schools will lose tax dollars due to lower attendance, and have to re-evaluate their priorities.

I don't even remember white people in Dr. Seuss books. Very few characters are even people.

Not my kids' schools. They're dressing up Friday as their favorite Dr. Seuss character in Kindergarten.

Most places will get around this. Here in South Carolina the school districts get a large chunk of their funding from car license registrations.

Progressives are the biggest pusses on the planet, period.
Its a philosophy of whiney women who like subservient men.

That's exactly what your ideology promotes. Every white person is born racist.
It's y'alls original sin.
