The recent decision to discontinue publishing six Dr. Seuss books has rippled down to local libraries, where issues of ethnic insensitivity and racial stereotypes are being rekindled.
Nationally, some libraries already have decided not to display or promote the six picture books otherwise cheerful, colorful, rhymable classics that some find objectionable because of their racial and ethnic depictions.
The Chicago Public Library was among the first to pull from its circulation the six titles singled out by Dr. Seuss Enterprises earlier this month: 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.
