Again, you attach the Dr. Seuss issue with your general campaign against CC. So if I understand you correctly: Regardless the reasons why many, and the publishers, want to "cancel" DS, you disagree with cancelling DS because it hurts your narrative? Or because you don't think that the reasons they want to cancel it are sufficient?
@gwb-trading said another way: They've cited reasons for cancelling DS. On those bases alone, do you agree, or disagree that DS should be canceled? Can you imagine any type of book that should be voluntarily (non-government) canceled from the reach of children? Are there any situations where non-governmental cancelling is a good thing?
So let me ask a question— would this publisher have stopped publishing these books if cancel advocates had not been making demands to cancel Dr. Seuss? If these Cancel advocates had not been demanding Dr. Seuss be cancelled then these books would have been published for many years to come.
Likely no, but possible. So what? You just won't answer the question as to the merits behind wanting it canceled, can you? Would Blacks be able to sit in the front of the bus if they didn't demand to be allowed to sit in the front, or they would cancel their bus passes? Would strikers get raises if they didn't cancel their jobs? I renew my original questions to you. And Blacks would still be slaves if they, and morally upright Whites, didn't demand that slavery be cancelled. I renew my original questions to you.
@gwb-trading while I await your responses, please realize: Cancelling, in and of itself, isn't evil. Some things should be canceled, because they are wrong. I asked you a few questions that you have yet to answer. One was, essentially, In your opinion, should DS be canceled with respect to its access by kids?
But the goal was not to cancel all of Seuss...just the outdated books with offensive images..... all your most popular titles and characters were never touched...
Imagine seething because neither little Latoya nor little Lin are going to be able to read these literary masterpieces:
When gwb mentioned rap lyrics, I'm sure he was referring to explicit lyrics. (Wouldn't you agree?) Thus, my response referred to the same; not English teachers rapping about irregular verbs.
