Books by Theodor Seuss Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, including “On Beyond Zebra!” and “And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street,” will no longer be printed due to accusations of racist and insensitive imagery. The other titles are “If I Ran the Zoo,” “McElligot’s Pool,” “Scrambled Eggs Super!” and “The Cat’s Quizzer.”Scott Olson / Getty Images
Everybody calm down.
Dr. Seuss is not being canceled, and his books are not being banned. If I had a little more energy, I’d put that in anapestic tetrameter.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy may have been aiming to make it clear he was against the decision by the estate of Dr. Seuss to no longer publish six of his books that contained racist imagery, but his way of handling it was quickly slammed on social media after he posted a video of himself reading “Green Eggs And Ham.”
McCarthy (R-California), took to Twitter with his support of the beloved children’s author, after six titles were pulled by his estate because the images in them were deemed as racist, with the estate claiming the portrayals of people in them as “hurtful and wrong.” In his Tweet, which included a video of him reading the famous story, McCarthy showed his support for the books and encouraged his supporters to re-tweet his post if they agreed.
