6 Dr. Seuss books won't be published for racist images
โCeasing sales of these books is only part of our commitment and our broader plan to ensure Dr. Seuss Enterprisesโ catalog represents and supports all communities and families," it said. Within hours of Tuesday's announcement, Dr. Seuss books filled more than half of the top 20 slots on Amazon.com's bestseller list. AdโResearch in recent years has revealed strong racial undertones in many books written/illustrated by Dr. Seuss,โ the school district said in a statement. In 2018, a Dr. Seuss museum in his hometown of Springfield removed a mural that included an Asian stereotype. Dr. Seuss Enterprises, however, said it is โcommitted to listening and learning and will continue to review our entire portfolio."
