Dr Seuss was also anti-abortion.

No wonder the Wokeness has decided to destroy him.

I haven't been able to find the right to not be offended in the Constitution. I must not be looking hard enough.
Yeah, that's it.

I read a couple of these articles today. Roll Eyes

Apparently two of the "offensive" pictures in some of the books were a Chinese man in a conical hat eating out of a bowl with chopsticks and two barefoot Africans in what "appears to be grass skirts".

So isn't calling that "offensive" actually offending those cultures?

I found a article that lists which ones are being removed.

I jumped on ebay for giggles.... holy CRAP!! people are jumping on the "rare and unavailable" train. Books in the $hundreds to a couple $K from most of the sellers, "Starting at" $30-ish or buy it now for several hundred is also quite popular.

Wow... Mad Frown

I just looked up McElligot’s Pool (one of the 4 books being banned) and can’t find what is “hurtful” or “racist” about it. These cancel culture warriors are fucking idiots who love ruining everything. Mad

Is it some kind of law that memes must contain at least one misspelled word?

Once again my Civic class has failed me. Could someone advise me which Amendment to the Constitution guarantees the right not to be offended?

TIA.

Mr Potato Head was probably the first transgender toy, because you could remove any body part & replace it with one from Mrs Potato Head. Smile

For Mr. Potato Head, I just heard today from a guy that Hasbro has stated they will not actually be changing the name. I haven't had a chance to do much looking yet but all I could find with a quick search was all stuff from last month. I will need to look more over lunch.

I wonder what evil and dark forces lurk on the written pages and in the illustrations of “The Flying Hockey Stick”, “Pickle-Chiffon Pie”, “Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel”, “Little Toot”, and dare I say it, Walt Disney’s “Little Hiawatha” series?!

Democrats continue to be out of touch, delusional and suffer from wet dream syndrome. When will the rest of America start cancelling democrats and the democrat party??

A very simple solution is to replace ALL illustrations with actual photographs of people in those illustrations, e.g. photoshop human heads and bodies to replace the objectionable characterizations.
