Supplementary #NewspaperUSBrdshtTheEverettHeraldMeenaHarris "But 'cancel culture' is a bad-faith distraction that had nothing to do with this decision. ('Go, Dog Whistle, Go!') Dr. Seuss Enterprises, which owns the rights to his books and characters, worked with a panel of experts to hold itself accountable by acknowledging that the six titles it will cease publishing included racist imagery and stereotypes that have no place in today's children's literature. It was not a referendum on whether Dr. Seuss was racist. It was not an attempt to make parents feel guilty for having 'Green Eggs and Ham' on their bookshelves. It was simply a response to the urgent and unaddressed problem of racism and underrepresentation in the content we share with our kids. And that's the conversation we should be having; not just about the Seuss books, but about children's literature as a whole, which still has a long way to go." https://www.heraldnet.com/opinion/comment-to-think-that-we-accepted-racist-images-in-kids-lit/

Supplementary "Comedian Kathy Griffin, whose career stalled after a gory 2017 photo shoot with photographer Tyler Shields, unapologetically resurfaced the polarizing image on election night -- a move that came swiftly after President Trump prematurely claimed he was winning the election. The stand-up comic reposted the image, which features her raising a bloodied, decapitated replica of Trump's head, without comment." https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/tv/story/2020-11-04/kathy-griffin-donald-trump-beheading-photo #IRLPhotographerTylerShields #2017_

@ShaneRhodehouse [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [25]: The company overseeing the legacy of #DrSeuss books announced it would stop selling 6 of his titles because 'only' 2% of the human characters in the books are non-white. They added: "These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong". #woke #censorship #Orwell [URL redacted]
