President Biden did not mention the famed author in his Read Across America Day speech. ROBBY SOAVE | 3.2.2021 11:51 AM The cancel culture bells have tolled for Dr. Seuss, the beloved author of children's books like Green Eggs and Ham, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and Oh, the Places You'll Go. President Biden declined to mention Dr. Seuss, the pen name of Theodor Seuss Geisel, in his kickoff speech for Read Across America Day, a national event that promotes literacy and is historically connected with Dr. Seuss. (It even takes place on the author's birthday.) While the Biden administration got the #DrSeussIsOverParty started, it's Seuss' own publisher who's really taking things to the next level. Dr. Seuss Enterprises announced that it would cease printing six books that contain vaguely racist imagery: And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, McElligot's Pool, On Beyond Zebra!, If I Ran the Zoo, Scrambled Eggs Super!, and The Cat's Quizzer. The books are currently unavailable on Amazon. This is not the first time Dr. Seuss has come under fire: In 2017, a librarian criticized First Lady Melania Trump's donation of Seuss books, which are "steeped in racist propaganda, caricatures, and harmful stereotypes." This year, Loudon County schools in Virginia ordered librarians to stop mentioning Dr. Seuss, citing a study that found there were few racial minority characters in his books. (Most Seuss characters aren't even human.) https://reason.com/2021/03/02/dr-seuss-can...

An alias is real Ron. Illegal aliens often have 3 or 4 or even more of them. My Chinese name is 文志 and I'm real. That's just two examples. Did you ever read Dr. Suess?

I’m shocked that it took this long for the woke mob to go after Theodor, Theodor Seuss "Ted" Geisel,
since he got his start drawing racist anti-Japanese cartoons in the 30s-40s.
...."a jew with green eggs and ham".....?????......not in this American history......

Steve these book are The best-known stories that I have read or saw the movie s like The Lorax, a save-the-environment parable, but it's hardly the only one. The Butter Battle Book is a Cold War satire, and the eponymous villain of Yertle the Turtle is meant to echo the rise and fall of Adolph Hitler.

Mostly I was just being lazy Robert. I don't even know what Dr. Suess looks like and rather than look for a new picture, I chose from what I had available. Xi makes me think of where America is headed. The Democrats don't want the federal union anymore, they want the popular vote and they are showing they can find a way by hook or by crook. Two trillion dollars, oh well. And it looks like with Biden we are ruling by committe already so Xi seemed apt. As far as this story I was ignoring it but MSNBC couldn't stop talking about Fox talking about it so I looked it up. I enjoyed reading Dr. Suess to my boys and I love history and hate to see it erased.

That is your business what you reed to your children even if a Disney character is depicting the rise and fall of Adolph Hitler. If that's what I thing Steve, even if that is what you want to teach them, cluttering up there minds with Right Wings LIES, just like you was taught, just look how you turned out.

I went to Wikipedia just like you did Ron and read about Yertle Turtle being lifted higher and higher on the backs of lesser tertles. Where does the eponymous villian enter the picture?

No Steve, I did not go to Wikipedia, like you did, I took the time to reeducate myself to this story after a half of century later.
Now if you want to stop talking from that baseless point of ignorance, watch this: Yertle the turtle by Dr Seuss https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=yertl...
YOUR QUESTION: Where does the eponymous villian enter the picture?
MY REPLY: You will see it all for yourself.

Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories is a picture book collection by Theodor Seuss Geisel, published under his more commonly known pseudonym of Dr. Seuss. It was first released by Random House Books on April 12, 1958, and is written in Seuss's trademark style, using a type of meter called anapestic tetrameter. Though it contains three short stories, it is mostly known for its first story, "Yertle the Turtle", in which the eponymous Yertle, king of the pond, stands on his subjects in an attempt to reach higher than the Moon—until the bottom turtle burps and he falls into the mud, ending his rule.

Ron, YOU said "the eponymous villain" in your comment above. You don't know what eponymous means and you can't say how Yertle "the villian" is eponymous.

In my opinion Ron "Yertle" is not eponymous of "turtle". If Yertle had been named Turtle, that would be eponymous of "turtle".

Thanks for proving my point Ron. I don't remember ever reading Yertle the Turtle and now it's no longer sold on Amazon. It doesn't matter though becaise I closed and deleted all traces (hopefully) of my Amazon account, when they kicked Parler off their servers.

That story has a bounty on its head Ron. How long before it's disappeared do you think?
Here's my answer to your three questions Ron: I saw nothing wrong with the story, not in the least. It's a story about dictators, big and small. So what?

My grandchildren aren't threatened by a dictator so the lesson would be lost on them I believe. But the book is interesting for its historical moment and dictators can't hurt us anymore, so we can read it without fear, right Ron?
