Just saw it on the news. How stupid can they get? This is just another "everybody gets a trophy" moment. Glad the world is happy that we are raising a bunch of pansies. Ridiculous! |

Another victory for the Cancel Culture. So disheartening.

Just when you think some people have taken this nonsense as far as they can they go ten steps farther.
Too much idle time on their hands I suppose..

These people will NEVER stop. Once one "problematic" person or thing is eliminated, it's on to the next. Everybody needs to start saying, "No, that's silly, shut up!"

I have quite a few Dr Seuss's books to my kids when they were little. I do not remember thinking that were racist undertones. I probably should be careful what I say the PC police will be after me.

If you read the whole article they are after other children's books.
Like curious George because a white guy brought a monkey from Africa.
Babu the elephant is in the crosshairs.

Banning books (and other forms of free speech some may disagree with) does nothing but block the very process of independent thinking.
Perhaps that is the goal of some, but what people that support things like this fail to see, is that it undermines their very right to put forth these types of opinions via the first amendment.

I bet a lot of these people don't know what an ammendment is or what our Constitution says. They have no clue how lucky they are to live in a free society with rights. Sad they are trying to reverse the course that makes this country what it is (was). We need to go back to living with common sense, something that has skipped a generation or two already. |

The original was about the group that manages Dr Suess books. They must have done a good job as he is the second richest dead celebrity. Micheal Jackson #1. The 6 books are ones I have never heard of. No it appears Biden has gotten involved.
This must like the old time rumors of backward making on recordings.
We need deleted here to tell us what is happening.

Just a question: When in the history of the world, have the ones banning and calling for the banning of books turned out to be the good guys?

Little by little they are winning and we are watching it happen
I’m not sure how we can change it I vote I emai the person I voted for and those I didn’t I’m active with in the community most people don’t care don’t know don’t want to rock the boat
We are watching what our forefathers brothers sisters gave up life and limb for somehow I don’t think this is why so that someone can change the name of my pancake syrup ban books and everything else
I wonder some days if maybe they aren’t more racist than I am not once in my life have I ever thought any of this as being offensive what’s next changing BK to Burger House because 300 years ago we had Kings and Queens Maybe get rid of Popeyes chicken after all he was a bit of a chauvinist
IDK but I sure don’t like the path we’re on
