Dr.Seuss, a longtime resident of San Diego, is now accused of racism and insensitivity in six of his children\u2019s books. Even the corporation tasked with upholding and promoting the legacy of Dr.Seuss has buckled under the pressure of the radical left. Dr. Seuss Enterprises released a statement saying, \u201cThese books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong.\u201d In what world is \u201cIf I ran a zoo\u201d racist?<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Seuss Enterprises claims to have worked with a team of \u201cexperts\u201d in order to come to the decision on which books should be canceled and which are approved by the ever-burgeoning liberal mob. However, they failed to include their primary target audience in the discussion, children!<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Seuss\u2019 claim to fame is writing age-appropriate children\u2019s books focusing on good morals, environmentalism, and tolerance towards others. In 2017, then-First Lady Melania Trump made a charitable donation of Dr.Seuss books to a library in Massachusetts. The donation was quickly turned away by the librarian, claiming the books were \u201csteeped in racist propaganda, caricatures and harmful stereotypes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Where will this madness end? When will the left realize that a book is simply that- a book? Or better yet, when will society stop listening to a small minority of people who find racism in everything and anything? There are no hidden meanings or allusions of racism in books intended for our children in the books written by Dr.Seuss.<\/p>\n<p>Photo via ABC News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Joseph Perez The radical left strikes again!
