I just read on-line this morning that those books will no longer be printed, however, they will remain on shelves in Libraries and such! Trying to be so very PC ... that's a good thing especially in dealing with children and how other folks/cultures are treated in this Country.
There are 70+ Dr. Suess books. 6 of them had problems. I saw on the news where they were trying to rewrite them but finally decided to pull them. I think they should have put more effort into rewrites. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Seuss_bibliography
I have not seen the books, so hard to say. Other cultures represent us as cowboys, so I am not so sure what to think of that, either. It there is the possibility to offend, then okay.
Oh gosh! I have a post about this very subject going up tomorrow. My son wouldn't let me give his sons books by Dr. Seuss because of the past history. I had no idea. I was uncomfortable with some of the pictures, but just disregarded them. I can see how by not talking about it, I didn't use the opportunity to bring a better awareness for my little first grade students when I was teaching.
I actually applaud Dr. Seuss for this. However I am sickened by how FOX news makes everything out to be the fault of the Biden Administration. I am tired of their proliferation of un-truths!!!!

Then again I'm not surprised since there now are people who say that there was no snow in Texas, that it's all a hoax!
