'Well done, everyone'! Dr. Seuss Enterprises announces collaboration with 'educators' to take more beloved books away from kids

Let the record show that Vox’s Aaron Rupar thinks people are making way too big a deal out of stories that Dr. Seuss is getting posthumously canceled for being problematic:

The purported "cancelation" of Dr. Seuss has been mentioned at least 32 times on Fox News & Fox Business already this morn. It was mentioned 22 times on Newsmax's morning show.

For context, "Covid" was mentioned 11 times on Fox & Friends, and 12 times on Newsmax's morning show.

Let the record also show that Aaron Rupar doesn’t know what “purported” means. Because while he’s busy sneering at Fox News and Newsmax, Dr. Seuss Enterprises is busy … canceling Dr. Seuss.

Six of Dr. Seuss’ books are about to become hot black-market items:

BRB buying all the Dr. Seuss volumes for the kids before the woke book burners can get to them all

This is actual insanity. Look at this. This is the Amazon page for "If I Ran The Zoo" right now. No volumes available. pic.twitter.com/5lNMqqqXNM

This is not a drill:

Six Dr. Seuss books — including “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street” and “If I Ran the Zoo” — will stop being published because of racist and insensitive imagery, the business that preserves and protects the author's legacy said. https://t.co/FB2boW7ao0

“These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong,” Dr. Seuss Enterprises told The Associated Press in a statement that coincided with the late author and illustrator’s birthday.

“Ceasing sales of these books is only part of our commitment and our broader plan to ensure Dr. Seuss Enterprises’ catalog represents and supports all communities and families,” it said.

…

“Dr. Seuss Enterprises listened and took feedback from our audiences including teachers, academics and specialists in the field as part of our review process. We then worked with a panel of experts, including educators, to review our catalog of titles,” it said.

How nice to see Dr. Seuss Enterprises collaborating with educators to try to prevent future generations of children from enjoying the books that have brought joy and a love of reading to so many.

We've now got foundations book burning the authors to whom they are dedicated. Well done, everyone. https://t.co/g4X7ZP9yOV

As an aside, why is it always upper middle-class white liberal women who get to decide what’s best for poor people and minorities? https://t.co/LogwudEfvl

Because everything is terrible.
