Dr. Seuss was a book that was typically available to children while in school. Rap music isn't.
Cancel culture has gone too far

Oh, and they tried that. It failed. Research the group 'Too Live Crew.'

FACTS MATTER!
Dr. Seuss company decided on their own to pull 6 titles that were first written in the 1930s and 40s with a sterotypical carton depiction of a chinaman and an african tribesman. All the classics are still in heavy publication. I bet you did not even know the 6 titles they are pulling.
Dr. Seuss Enterprises, the company that preserves the author’s legacy, announced on Tuesday that it would “cease publication and licensing” for the books: “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.” The statement’s release came on the late author’s birthday.
The company said it decided to pull the books last year after consulting with a “panel of experts, including educators” who reviewed Dr. Seuss’ catalogue.
“These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong,” Dr. Seuss Enterprises wrote in a statement. “Ceasing sales of these books is only part of our commitment and our broader plan to ensure Dr. Seuss Enterprises’s catalog represents and supports all communities and families.”
Dr. Seuss books sold w/parental advisory stickers and to adults only?
Also why only rap lyrics...if you want real censorship why not all R rated movies......
Tell us @gwb-trading , since you raised this point, and in light of the responses you've received:
Has your opinion changed on this issue?

Not in the least bit — Cancel Culture has gone to far... reaching the point of absurdity.
Ok, thanks for the swift reply.
But I was referring specifically to the Dr. Seuss issue; not your position on "Cancel Culture" in general.
Has your original position on the Dr. Seuss issue changed?
So tell us the part about cancel advocates demanding for over a year that Dr Seuss be cancelled and all of his books banned from schools, etc.
This move by the Seuss publishing foundation is simply an attempt to get ahead of the cancel advocates and hope they stop.
Sadly they will shortly find out that appeasing Cancel advocates does not work and this move will simply rile them up to demand the cancellation of more Dr. Seuss books.
As noted before — the only way to eliminate this absurd Cancel Culture is to stand-up and tell these cancel advocates “No”. Enough of this idiocy.
