According to a Virginia school system, famed children’s book author Dr. Seuss has “strong racial undertones” in his stories.
Welcome to 2021, where an author who worked hard to make everyone feel included and important is being canceled. One of his most famous lines from Horton Hears a Who is, “A person is a person, no matter how small.” How is that racist?
Breitbart reports:
Dr. Seuss, whose real name is Theodor Geisel, is famed for classics including Horton Hears a Who, The Grinch, and Green Eggs and Ham, but the Loudon County school system now also says his work has “strong racial undertones,” the Washington Post reported.
According to a school spokesman, the district said they are looking toward books that are more “inclusive and diverse and reflective of our student community,” according to school Loudoun schools spokesman Wayde B. Byard.
Byard declared that there are “strong racial undertones in many books written/illustrated by Dr. Seuss,” and said, “Given this research, and LCPS’ focus on equity and culturally responsive instruction, LCPS has provided guidance to schools in the past couple of years to not connect Read Across America Day with Dr. Seuss’ birthday exclusively.”
The school district is not the first to hit the venerable children’s author with charges of racism.
As far back as 2017, a museum dedicated to Geisel’s work painted over a mural that featured Dr. Seuss-styled depictions of Asian characters replete with long braided queues and chopsticks. Activists at the time claimed that the cartoon figures were a “jarring racial stereotype.”
Flash forward to 2019 and academicians were formalizing an article in the peer-reviewed academic journal Research on Diversity in Youth Literature in which Seuss’s work and his past was deemed “racist.”
