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/
