The Fox lemmings immediately spun this into government censorship and are now defiantly sending truckfuls of cash to the very company that made the decision. https://t.co/wL7MLRIbXX

I'd imagine the very entity that decided to discontinue those books will profit from this. Two words: The Lorax. I'll bet there are lots of right wingers who whined about that one.
ReplyDeleteI do have to say that this story made me go through the entire Sneetches book in my mind. I must have read that to nieces and nephews at least 700 times, and The Zax and the one about the "pair of pale green pants with nobody inside them." I've got to be careful or Put Me In The Zoo will come up next.
DeleteLove the Sneeches!
ReplyDeleteBut shame, shame on Dr. Seuss for unforgivably objectifying Thing 1 and Thing 2!
