Oh! So that's all fixed now? Now I just need to find that box with the books!
Selling and buying was halted on those yesterday. What happened?

No clue. Perhaps they were under review?

Also there are PDFs of those books online that you can download and print.

Semantics.

They are being recalled and taken out of print.

That is tantamount to being cancelled.

Just because liberals or liberal ideology are behind something, doesn't mean you have to defend it.

Taking these classic pieces of American children's literature out of print because, if viewed in a certain skewed light or context, they could conceivably be seen as offensive to a small segment of society, provided that segment was thin-skinned enough to take notice and be offended, is just taking sensitivity and inclusiveness too far.

Things are just getting silly nowadays and all this kind of shit does is give ammunition to the right.

Time to shut up about all this crap and get fucking lives.

Can someone please post up the drawings that have been deemed offensive? The only one I've seen is the Chinaman with the pointy hat and food bowl. Man, could I go for some pork fried rice right now...

And power does what it can to prevent the books from being sold used....power does not want you or your kids looking at the "deeply problematic" Seuss, considerself told...disobey at your own cost....and there is only one reason....Seuss spent his entire life trying to convince us to not support pretty much every damn last thing that the Revolution pushes. As Bret says, the Revolution is not out to silence only the Right or R's or people who like guns or Trump....they are out to silence all opposition, even when it comes from the Left like with me and Bret....as Bret knows because extensive efforts have been made to silence Bret, and because Bret talks to a lot of people, he knows damn well what is going on, he saw all of this being tried out at Evergreen...on him.....these fucks have already destroyed his life once....now they ae working on doing it again!

Power disappearing books because they dont want them read has been a big thing for many hundreds of years, ever since we figured out what a horrible idea it is, where the FUCK have you been?

That is why we see Bret here Balls to the Wall objecting to the Revolutions cancellation policy.

'It's a moral decision': Dr Seuss books are being 'recalled' not cancelled, expert says

A leading expert on racism in children’s literature has said the decision by the Dr Seuss Foundation to withdraw six books should be viewed as a “product recall” and not, as many claim, an example of cancel culture.
