Political leaders, personalities and conservative commentators took to social media Tuesday to slam the move to cancel Dr. Seuss.
“Utterly asinine,” Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz tweeted, along with a link to an article in the New York Post about the latest cancellation. (RELATED: Cancel Culture, Coronavirus And Endless Virtue Signaling: Here Are The 5 Worst Things About 2020)
“Joe Biden trying to cancel Dr. Seuss,” Cruz added.
Utterly asinine.

“If we’re canceling Dr. Seuss, why not also Roald Dahl?” conservative commentator Dana Loesch tweeted. “And why limit to books? Why not cancel Chanel?” (RELATED: Celebrities, Political Personalities Denounce Violent Insurrection At Capitol Hill)
If we’re canceling Dr. Seuss, why not also Roald Dahl? And why limit to books? Why not cancel Chanel? Wasn’t she a literal Nazi agent? Yet look at the continued world-wide appeal of that brand. FTR, I hate cancel culture, but also hate inconsistency.

Crazy idea: Just let people be people and allow everyone to make their own informed decisions about commerce and association without the gov’t’s and cancel cultist’s Monty Python-esque inconsistent meddling.

Now 6 Dr. Seuss books are cancelled too?
When history looks back at this time it will be held up as an example of a depraved sociopolitical purge driven by hysteria and lunacy

If Dr. Seuss wanted to #DefundThePolice, his books wouldn’t be getting canceled.

The left wants to destroy Dr. Seuss because he’s the father of children’s literature and he happens to also be white and from a time period where everything wasn’t PC.
It has nothing to do with ‘racial undertones’ and everything to do with destroying another American legend.

Let’s be honest, Dr Seuss books are probably about the only books Biden can get through at this point….#cancelcancelculture

Apparently Dr. Seuss books are now offensive and Democrats are trying to cancel publication of anymore of his books.
This has to be a joke.

Six Dr. Seuss books will no longer be published due to alleged “racist and insensitive imagery” in the beloved children’s series, the business that preserves and protects the author’s legacy told the Associated Press.
“These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong,” Dr. Seuss Enterprises said in the statement about the move.
“Ceasing sales of these books is only part of our commitment and our broader plan to ensure Dr. Seuss Enterprises’ catalog represents and supports all communities and families,” the statement added.
