LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. (WNCN) — A Virginia school district will no longer celebrate Theodor Seuss Geisel A.K.A., Dr. Seuss, during ‘Read Across America Day’ citing “strong racial undertones in many books written/illustrated by him.”

But in 2016 hussien said he's a good guy:

It's no secret that President Obama is an avid reader. But, he just got even more cred with book-lovers by praising everybody's favorite children's author: yep, Obama loves Dr. Seuss. In a Q&A session with interns, Obama admitted that "pretty much all the stuff you need to know is in Dr. Seuss." And of course, he's spot on.

Obama Says Dr. Seuss Is The Best Teacher

Whatever you think of Jesse, you gotta admit he did of a good job with it.

Just burn the books

[Voltaire 4,559]

We need "It Feels Nice When Strangers Touch You There" read at Drag Queen story hour instead.

[TimmySmith 2,782]

Apparently, only cuck libs know what race any of those Dr. Seuss creatures were?  Makes sense, given the level of their imagination.

I love that one.

Yawn. But keep it up libtards, it’s good for more and more normals to see who you are. Also, if you vote for Democrats now, you vote for this. You gotta be a Cuck to do that at this point. You’re saying all this is ok.

Does it matter anymore though?  They've figured out how to steal national elections.  Maybe in 4 years, Biden will get one BEEEELION votes.

Methinks Libs are just calling him black because he stole everything.

Damn. I didn't see this one when I started the one on the moon.

It wasn't canceled, his books have not been banned by LCPS...

Next they'll come after Mike Myers for "whitewashing" the character in the movie version.

It’s only racist when the mob says it is. 

[DonS 3,067]

"Oh The Places You'll Go" is obviously racist as that book is often given to high school and college graduates. 

We all know how education is all about white privilege.

Funny enough, The Lorax has also been banned.

The Lorax by Dr. Seuss

Dr. Seuss’ environmental kid’s book was banned in 1989 in a California school because it was believed to portray logging in a poor light and would turn children against the foresting industry. Members of the logging community were so upset by Dr. Seuss’ book that they sponsored the publication of a book called The Truax in an attempt to show children the need for foresting. The Lorax has also been criticized for its excessive portrayal of consumerism. The Once-ler represents a greedy America who wants the latest and greatest items, regardless of the consequences.

Who said anything about an equalizer, TNG mention the book, I brought up how it too had been banned.  Entire nonsense of any of these books being banned or people getting bent out shape about these books is absurd to me.

You need to stop seeing arguments in everything, you'll live longer.  Jeesh...

You need to  stop with the equalizers, maybe when you’re not doing it your point might get made.

I'd ask for some examples, (as a rule I try to avoid  'whataboutisms'),..so unless you want to provide some(you won't) I'll stick with my previous response... You need to stop seeing arguments in everything,

And unless you have some examples, I'm done...everyone else carry on with the one county that cancelled Dr. Seuss.

One county? His estate said they won’t publish six of his books. Your side does the stuff, stop trying to spread the blame, or portray it as equal. No one is buying it. You know I’m right, hence the personal attack, which was weak BTW. Do better.

What no one is buying is your attempt to move the goalposts.
