Theodor Seuss Geisel, known as Dr. Seuss, speaks in Dallas in 1987. Dr. Seuss is being seen in a new light over racist imagery in some of his publications. How can such a man be guilty of the very ugliness he condemns? It may be difficult to reconcile this contradiction, but the dynamic reflects the complex nature of racism./Associated PressShow MoreShow Less

There has been a flurry of news articles about companies changing their logos on products or the products themselves because they were perceived as being insensitive to some cultures.
I was rather surprised when there wasn’t the usual fanfare about reading in celebration of Dr. Seuss and his birthday. Theodor Seuss Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss) was born March 2, 1904. There was usually a big deal made about reading on March 2.
Then, I saw a news broadcast that some of his books were going to stop being printed because it was felt the illustrations were racist.

President Biden speaks with reporters on the South Lawn of the White House last month.Samuel Corum / New York Times
Each of President Biden’s last 15 predecessors held a solo press conference at this point in their first terms. Biden’s lack of accessibility is drawing criticism from Washington reporters who have plenty of questions to ask him directly. It also challenges his promise of a new era of truth and transparency after four years of an administration that was deficient on each.
It’s not as if there were a dearth of issues to pursue in Biden’s first two months. The rollout of the vaccine, the $1.9 trillion pandemic relief bill, the air strike on Iran-backed militias in Syria, the administration’s tepid response to a finding that Saudi Arabia’s crown prince authorized the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, and Biden’s issuance of executive orders on everything from immigrant rights to the Paris climate agreement cry out for elaboration by the 46th president.

Dr. Seuss books: 6 will stop being published due to racist and insensitive imagery


Six Dr. Seuss books will no longer be published, according to the estate that manages the late author's collection.
In a statement, Dr. Seuss Enterprises said, "These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong."
The titles include "And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street," "If I Ran the Zoo," "McElligot's Pool," "On Beyond Zebra!" "Scrambled Eggs Super!" and "The Cat's Quizzer."
The estate made the announcement on Read Across America Day, which is Dr. Seuss' birthday.
"Books teach children who they are in the world and who others are in the world around them," said Ebony Elizabeth Thomas, a children and young adult literature expert who is an associate professor at the University of Pennsylvania.

PORTSMOUTH, Va. — Five-dollar children’s books are now selling for upwards of $1,000 online.
The Book Owl used bookstore in Portsmouth only charged around $5 — a steal for some Dr. Seuss books that are now in high demand.
“I saw their hands. It was a blur, but I saw. It was amazing; they’d be really good in Vegas - quick hands,” said owner Nelson Velez.
It was an unexpectedly busy day for an otherwise quiet bookstore. At 10 a.m., there were 12 Seuss books sitting on the shelf. By 11 a.m., there were none.
