COMMENTARY: "Green Eggs" and racial stereotypes... - The Cherokee One Feather
It appears that Dr. Seuss was a racist. Or, he was simply a product of his times. The debate is raging, well, it’s raging at Fox News anyway. It seems that Dr. Seuss Enterprises, the outfit that handles the good doctor’s legacy, has pulled six of his books for children because, “These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong.” Their words. The titles of these six books are, “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.”
