Study finds many beloved books are 'problematic'; reaction from Mark Steyn on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight.'
Tuesday, March 2, marks National Read Across America Day, which also coincides with famous children’s author Dr. Seuss’ birthday.
The mind behind such beloved children’s characters as The Cat in the Hat, The Grinch and The Lorax was commemorated by the National Education Association by making his birthday synonymous with his life’s work – getting kids into reading through sheer entertainment.
However, 2021 marks a somewhat historic year for the legacy of the acclaimed author, whose real name was Theodore Seuss Geisel. As schools across America highlight the value of literacy, Dr. Seuss Enterprises, the business tasked with preserving and protecting the author’s legacy, announced that six of his early works will no longer be published due to "hurtful and wrong" depictions of other races.
