No doubt I inaccurately said it was announced before but I knew the decision was made before. Either way, I was correct about the book reading stuff not being involved and you were wrong. Can you admit that?
Dr. Seuss:
- Thread starter Dr. Curmudgeon
- Start date

Definitely seems that way. So far 2 guys have sent me links to articles that they clearly didn't read. Just reading that article will tell you that Biden admin and the left wasn't involved. It's really shocking to see the chosen ignorance that some will take.
They never consulted a focus group nor did they do "extensive" research. They consulted mainly "educators" (because we all know college campuses are bastions for free thought).
The decision was undoubtedly made because someone on a college campus found a few references that are now considered unacceptable and made threats.
The statement is pure CYA, I can guarantee you that.
Race baiting, a total misread of a statement and childish name calling in one post.
Well done sir.
Smh, the beauty of message boards. People will always believe what they want to believe that fits their narrative.
u really this dumb. I sent you an article that clearly proved your comment to be factually incorrect. Whatever else you’re reading into that is you making assumptions
you and Bsc are either the same person, or related. I literally showed you your comment where you said the DR Seuss ANNOUNCEMENT was made before bidens Proclamation where Dr Seuss was removed. The Bide Proclamation was made on March 1st, Dr Seuss ANNOUNCEMENT was made on March 2nd. You were wrong. Simple as that.
Making a decision, and ANNOUNCING a decision are not one and the same.
Answer my question and I will answer yours. Was your statement true or false?
just saw that. Didn’t see it earlier. To answer your question, about Biden....who knows. My point was cancel culture did this. Biden and dims have aided and abetted this behavior for years.
FWIW. People “make decisions” all the time, but those decisions aren’t ever final until they are announced. As such, The Biden proclamation surely assisted the timing being sped up. Or else its one of the biggest coincidences ever,
At some point in time, I have probably read most all of the Seuss Books. Wgen I was a kid, we had to have about 40 of them. We had the Barbar books also. Probably only have about 20 Seuss books I bought for my kids.
Bottom line. Neither of us knows factually. Answer is pretty clear. Liberals, and cancel culture are the reason for ish like this. Biden, obama, pelosi etc...have aided and abetted this behavior
thats a good one. I laughed really hard. Thanks man.
But I will concede that both sides are responsible. Dims for promoting it, pubs for allowing it
Conservatives have tolerated so many things from half-naked people gyrating in the streets in the name of Gay Pride, the decline of family values, moral/ethical decline, and the murdering of millions of babies every year. But, now that the Cancel Culture is targeting Caucasians/Conservative/Christians we are forced to draw a line in the sand.
I can list people canceled by the right. If I do, what will you say? Admit it? Or make excuses for them?
Let's remember that attempting to silence people expressing opinions you disagree with is a hallmark of fascism.
Welcome back! BSC, fill the fry pit!
freaking @GhostOfMatchesMalone. Welcome back. Have you heard that your boy @BSC911 is now a welcher? AKA welchalicious.
I feel like BSC is going to lose sleep over this.
“Oh no! What am I going to do now that Ghost is back?”
Haha, the irony is thick with this one.
China already capitalizing on Seuss books.
This is intentionally disingenious. The publisher said they were stopping the publication due to perceived racist themes.
They were attempting to cancel him. It will likely be as successful as every other progressive attempt at fascism.
And all of this is a test run. They are coming for the Holy Bible. Make no mistake about it.
I went back and read the thread from the start. No one before you claimed the left was behind this. You are charging a windmill that doesn't exist.
"But any academic with a computer and a degree in postmodern nonsense can take those books off the shelves simply by claiming that offense is possible. "
Biden doesn't wipe his ass or change his diaper without someone doing it for him. Who the eff do you think you are kidding here? Chauncey Gardner, meet 2020. This is the fvckhead you voted for. With apologies to Bo Peep, now this guy is truly what you call an empty suit. Hell, empty hat is a better expression.
Bill is right. You people are why we’re losing to China.

Bill Maher sounds alarm on China's dominance over US: 'They're eating our lunch'
"Real Time" host Bill Maher closed his show Friday night by sounding the alarm on China's growing dominance over the United States.
"You're not going to win the battle for the 21st century if you are a silly people. And Americans are a silly people," Maher began the monologue, alluding to a "Lawrence of Arabia" quote.
"Do you know who doesn't care that there's a stereotype of a Chinese man in a Dr. Seuss book? China," he said. "All 1.4 billion of them couldn't give a crouching tiger flying f--- because they're not a silly people. If anything, they are as serious as a prison fight."
Maher acknowledged that China does "bad stuff" from the concentration camps of Uyghur Muslims to its treatment of Hong Kong.
But he stressed, "There's got to be something between an authoritarian government that tells everyone what to do and a representative government that can't do anything at all."
BILL MAHER SUGGESTS CUOMO'S REFUSAL TO RESIGN IS INSPIRED BY TRUMP: HE 'NEVER BACKED DOWN'
"In two generations, China has built 500 entire cities from scratch, moved the majority of their huge population from poverty to the middle class, and mostly cornered the market in 5G and pharmaceuticals. Oh, and they bought Africa," Maher said, pointing to China's global Silk Road infrastructure initiative.
He continued: "In China alone, they have 40,000 kilometers of high-speed rail. America has none. ... We've been having Infrastructure Week every week since 2009 but we never do anything. Half the country is having a never-ending woke competition deciding whether Mr. Potato Head has a d--- and the other half believes we have to stop the lizard people because they're eating babies. We are a silly people.
"Nothing ever moves in this impacted colon of a country. We see a problem and we ignore it, lie about it, fight about it, endlessly litigate it, sunset clause it, kick it down the road, and then write a bill where a half-assed solution doesn't kick in for 10 years," Maher explained. "China sees a problem and they fix it. They build a dam. We debate what to rename it."
The HBO star cited how it took "ten years" for a bus line in San Francisco to pass its environmental review and how it took "16 years" to build the Big Dig tunnel in Boston, comparing that to a 57-story skyscraper that China built in "19 days" and Beijing's Sanyuan Bridge, which was demolished and rebuilt in "43 hours."
“"China sees a problem and they fix it. They build a dam. We debate what to rename it."”
"We bingewatch, they bingebuild. When COVID hit Wuhan, the city built a quarantine center with 4,000 rooms in 10 days and they barely had to use it because they quickly arrested the rest of the disease," Maher said. "They were back to throwing raves in swimming pools while we were stuck at home surfing the dark web for black market Charmin. We're not losing to China, we lost. The returns just haven't all come in yet. They've made robots that check a kid's temperature and got their asses back in school. Most of our kids are still pretending to take Zoom classes while they watch TikTok and their brain cells fully commit ritual suicide."

Maher then blasted Democratic New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, accusing him of degrading school standards by eliminating merit and substituting a lottery system for admittance to schools for advanced learners.
"Do you think China's doing that, letting political correctness get in the way of nurturing their best and brightest?" Maher continued. "Do you think Chinese colleges are offering courses in 'The Philosophy of Star Trek, 'The Sociology of Seinfeld,' and 'Surviving the Coming Zombie Apocalypse'? Those are real and so is China. And they are eating our lunch. And believe me, in an hour, they'll be hungry again."

Did you just not read what you wrote? That finger points at the left AT LEAST as much as it points to the right. More so imho.
Exactly. As a moderate independent, I can point my finger at both sides.
Example please. If anything. I think the right laughs at people instead of trying to shut them up.
