Dr. Seuss Books Cancelled Over ‘Hurtful and Wrong’ Imagery
Dr. Seuss has become the latest target of cancel culture after the company in charge of the Suess catalogue of books decided to pull six titles from publication due to offensive imagery.
The move coincides with Dr. Seuss’s removal from “Read Across America Day,” which was observed on Tuesday. Dr. Seuss had previously been the face of the annual event for two decades.
In a statement issued Tuesday, on the author’s birthday, Dr. Seuss Enterprises said it made the decision last year to cease the publication and licensing of the six titles And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, If I Ran the Zoo, McElligot’s Pool, On Beyond Zebra!, Scrambled Eggs Super!, and The Cat’s Quizzer following a review by experts and educators.
