This Teen Vogue situation has been amusing. The staffer who demanded the ouster of the editor is guilty of much worse online behavior than the editor.

Cancel culture eats its own...

Pretty pathetic. And I also think it is dicey legally to shame and drive a person out of their job for an act that they committed as a minor and where they have not displayed such action in their current workplace.
The lefties are a confused bunch. They have succeeded and/or are trying to get states and the federal government to be banned from asking about prior criminal records in employment because it keeps minorities from getting on with their lives. Yet they have a boner for chasing down a successful black woman for some dumb-ass comment from when she was a minor.
Just to be repetitive, I guess, I will say again I don't think it is legally clean either. Her employer may find out about their own actions having consequences too at some point. Yes, I get that she resigned, but from a hostile workplace.

Why the Fallacy of Cancel Culture Is So Toxic (And No, the Founding Fathers Aren’t Getting Cancelled)

...Knowing that all of this is true, that cancel culture as it’s popularly defined is really just a largely misconstrued logical fallacy, ...

Hey let's Cancel Dr. Seuss.... reading Dr. Seuss books on Read Across America Day, which was created on Dr. Seuss' birthday to celebrate the reading his books, simply should not be allowed.

Let's read the paper that states nearly all the Dr. Seuss books are racist.... and sparked the movement to cancel Dr. Seuss.
The Cat is Out of the Bag: Orientalism, Anti-Blackness, and White Supremacy in Dr. Seuss's Children's Books
February 2019

Let's take a look at their "Current Activism" section of the paper...
Current Activism
As critical race scholar-activists, we engaged stakeholders, including youth, families, and teachers from racially marginalized communities, to identify and document existing forms of resistance to Seuss' racist works.
In 2017, we submitted this stakeholder feedback, and our study findings, to the National Education Association’s (NEA) Read Across America (RAA) Advisory Committee. RAA is the nation’s largest celebration of reading, with over 45 million annual participants. The NEA created the event in 1996 to take place on Dr. Seuss' birthday (March 2nd). For twenty years, the celebration was centered around Dr. Seuss' children’s books and the author himself. We advocated that they reconsider their twenty year focus on Seuss and use their platform to promote anti-racist diverse books by authors of color.
The NEA committed to start transitioning away from Dr. Seuss, change RAA’s theme to “Celebrating a Nation of Diverse Readers,” and use the event as an opportunity to promote social justice. For the first time in twenty years, they removed all Dr. Seuss books from their annual Read Across America Resource Calendar, and featured all diverse books and authors at their RAA events in 2018.
While the NEA has taken steps to rebrand RAA, it is teachers, school administrators, and parents who will be creating and enacting change in their classrooms, school districts, and homes. We hope this research will encourage continued dialogue on what it means to continue to teach and celebrate these works.

I thought "research papers" were suppose to research a subject not merely promote the activism the authors had already been pushing to eliminate Seuss books -- which they had already been driving for at least two years prior publishing the paper.
