Whoopsie. What did she compare The Cat in the Hat to again? Wasn't it "blackface minstrelsy"??
Hint: this isn't about Dr. Seuss, or Horton hearing a Who. It's about Melania Trump, and trying to show how out of touch she is.

Dr. Suess has helped millions of children to learn to read. This is completely off the deep end.

I think the discussion was about his present.

ya actually he is presently "six feet under" and for the last quarter century. He died in 1991. I think you meant to say the discussion is about most of his later work in children books and poetry. Or something along those lines? He was also in the military doing propaganda work, so for me he was not only a racist but also a war pig.
