Dr. Seuss books are racist

Time to ban Dr. Seuss from the classroom:

racism, bigotry, and hatred should never be celebrated, even in the writing of some of our most celebrated authors. There are too many other stories to be told, voices to be heard, and books to be read that are just as capable as any by Dr. Seuss to inspire young minds and reflect all readers.
All I can say is *sigh*

We don't know if that deceased person still identifies as a male. We are to refer to that person as Rogers.

What is this person's doctorate in? If its not medical, we might have to call this person Seuss.


What's more pathetic: harassing an old man who is paying to do a radio show or supporting a grifter like Trump?

HEY!

I realize there is very little decorum on this board, but if we can all agree to not TRASH THE REPUTATION OF AMERICAN ICON FRED ROGERS, it might be wise.

Are you suggesting that I the trashing keeps up it will NOT be a beautiful day in THIS neighborhood? For the record, I loved his show growing up.

Keep in mind that she, and thousands of others with her exact mindset, are teaching at public K-12 schools throughout the nation. Then you wonder why children can’t do anything for themselves except exclaim how “woke” they are.

Not to mention, The Grinch was most certainly a pedophile. Did you see the way he looked at Cindy Lou Who in her PJ's?


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.
