I thought this was a crazy rumor but no, it’s true. Dr Seuss is being cancelled. Dr Zeus! The ultra-sweet, extremely leftist Dr Seuss.
I’m off to the bookstore. I have 3 of the banned books, so I need to locate the other three. Thank goodness, I have them on paper. Digital copies of banned books are being stolen from people’s devices. It’s a great idea to have a paper copy of any book you want to be able to keep. (And a place to hide it, of course).
No $15 minimum wage, no college loan forgiveness, more “babies in cages,” bombing of Syria but at least he defeated books. Biden voters, I hope you got exactly what you wanted.
P.S. Little House on the Prairie will also be canceled. I will have to haul out half of the bookstore today. Unbelievable garbage. Americans, how could you? You are destroying your entire culture to please a few clearly insane idiots.

As people say on social media, have there ever been instances in history when those who banned books turned out to be the good guys?

The books haven’t been banned. The owners have decided to stop selling them.
Although one could argue that books as old as Dr. Seuss should be in the public domain by now.

It’s exactly like in the USSR we “decided” not to read anything that the authorities didn’t want us to read.

Copyright holders have stopped selling stuff since forever because there’s no money in it or they just don’t feel like selling the title anymore.
It just means you have to look for second hand copies.

This is a massively bestselling author. Nobody is trying to conceal the ideological nature of the ban.

It seems more like a calculated move by the Dr. Suess company that they can maintain sales of the remaining titles in their portfolio by demonstrating their commitment to wokeness.

What does it change? Yes, they are acceding to avoid being hounded out of business. That doesn’t make things better. We are all acceding, and acceding, and acceding.

At least Little House on the Prairie can’t be cancelled since it is out of copyright and not controlled by any corporation. Anyone can host it on their website or start selling print copies by mail order if they want to.

And how will you have “your website” if none of the providers “decides” to host you?

Host it yourself on your own PC. Books require extremely minimal capacity. You don’t need some giant industrial server to host a couple of books.
