the funny thing is that nobody has actually banned the books

the publisher has halted the production of like a half dozen titles because demand for them has plummeted (due to their fucked up portrayal of minority groups)...this is exactly the way free market capitalism is supposed to work, right?

The decision to stop publishing those 6 Dr. Seuss books was made by the company that owns them, not a banning by the government.

When you say "banning books" it suggests that the government is censoring publication or sale of a book...not that a publisher decided to stop publishing a book.

and this is really a completely separate thing

parents wanted the books removed

and for the record, i’m against all of this. parents should be better at parenting, and teaching their kids right from wrong, rather than blaming books

I never said I supported that. It's possible to not choose a side in this insanity.

At least you are possibly implying that you admit banning books by the left is wrong. Correct?

I'll come out as opposed to banning of books.

But will you admit that a publisher choosing to stop publishing a book is not book banning?

I honestly haven't much time thinking about banning books since high school.

Isn't there a fundamental difference between "not teaching it in public schools" and "banning"? If the line for "banning" is that it is not in public school curriculum...that's a lot of things!

lobs, what do you think about “the right” banning the teaching of evolution?

or, better yet, mandating that creationism be taught as an equal alternative?

Technically, it's not banning them in the world. But banning them in the school is harmful. Why would they not want people to learn the valuable lessons from these books? It's because everything and anything is racist these days.

There's plenty of normal (at the time) things from back in the 1920's-1950's when those things were done that are now rightly considered racist. And it is the keepers of the authors works who are deciding to no longer publish those works, not some outside group. So good for them for recognizing where that work fits in today's world.

No one is banning anything.

"Dr. Seuss Enterprises said it made the decision after consulting educators and reviewing its catalog.

"Ceasing sales of these books is only part of our commitment and our broader plan to ensure Dr. Seuss Enterprises's catalog represents and supports all communities and families," it said. "
