Dr Suess cancelled

Deadline reports:

In Virginia, they do not like green eggs and ham, or Dr. Seuss.

The good Dr. Seuss, aka Theodor Geisel, has been dropped from the annual ‘Read Across America’ event, a national day to encourage reading. Dr. Seuss books have long been a staple of the program.

Dr. Seuss, a major supplier of content for television and film through such characters as The Grinch, the Cat in the Hat, and Horton Hears a Who, was banned because his books allegedly have “strong racial undertones,” according to the school system.

More madness.

I’m proud to say I have every Dr Suess book and regularly read them to the kids.
