A handful of Dr. Seuss books have been pulled from publishing, and some schools are reportedly banning his books altogether, due to racist undertones in his work.
Today, March 2 is Dr. Seuss s birthday, but the party will be a few books light, because
Dr. Seuss Enterprises just announced they re taking six books out of publication because they feel the books portray people, in their own words, in hurtful and wrong ways.
Dr. Seuss Enterprises tells CNN that after reviewing all of the titles in their catalog and consulting with multiple educators, the decision was made to stop production on six of the company s Dr. Seuss titles.
If
Dr. Seuss Enterprises feels these six books are hurtful and that these books don t represent the core values of what the company is about, then hey.clearly they have every right to kick these titles to the curb. I mean, it s their company.
