No one is being erased from history. We teach about some really terrible people in history. Adolf Hitler is certainly a big part of history class. The point is to stop propping up the shitty people in a place of reverence.

Sure leave out the racist part. Yeah, because if it's just banning books that would be a problem. If it's just people not printing more because theirs little demands, that's reasonable and fine. And it's ok to adjust the curriculum of schools though I do think schools should get to choose (which I expect they do). So I guess I don't understand where politics comes into this then --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori https://imgur.com/TheGsZ9 ... Copied to Clipboard!

It was really difficult to find an actual quote from Dr. Seuss on this rather than just sensationalist articles.
https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20190301-the-surprisingly-radical-politics-of-dr-seuss One problematic issue in Seusss wartime cartoons is touched upon in Horton Hears a Who!. The Japanese cartoons are horribly narrow and racist and stereotyped, says Minear. A supporter of the mass incarceration of Japanese-Americans, Seuss used offensive stereotypes to caricature the Japanese in his cartoons, leading to accusations that he was racist. I think too many people don't realize that there is good and bad in many things. It either has to be all good or all bad with no in-between. That's not a very healthy mindset. A lot of people are going to stop reading Dr. Seuss books ever again because of this, which is fine. But people are also going to discourage others from reading or promoting Dr. Seuss books, which is not fine tbh. --- I try to laugh about it, hiding the tears in my eyes. ... Copied to Clipboard!
