So what\u2019s this really about?<\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s about destroying American culture.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Marxists want not only Seuss destroyed but also Shakespeare, classic movies, and even math. They especially hate Christians and the Bible. The deconstruction-minded left sees it as hate speech. Christians and patriots are seen as terrorists and they must be silenced and replaced with transexual celebrations. They want American culture destroyed so it can be \u2018built back better.\u2019 That means socialism.<\/p>\n<p>Most children of all races grew up reading Dr. Seuss. He was inclusive. His illustrations didn\u2019t portray race. The creatures weren\u2019t even human most of the time. Instead, they they were creative, multi-colored creatures that appealed to everyone. I was very young when I read my first Dr. Seuss book. It was titled \u201cBartholomew and the Oobleck.\u201d I can\u2019t remember how old I was exactly, but it was the first book I read on my own and I was fascinated by it. I read more of his books after that and in retrospect I realize that Dr. Seuss opened the door to reading for many young children while helping to instill within them a love of books.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/grrrgraphics.com\/sign-up\/\"><em><strong>Sign Up For GRRRNews and NEVER miss a new cartoon- click to join our news letter<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now the left wants his books destroyed along with Mark Twain and \u2018white\u2019 western literature in general. Dr. Seuss was also an excellent editorial cartoonist. A case could be made for racism in some of his depictions of the Japanese in cartoons he drew during World War II, but he drew many more that spoke out against racism. I found myself cringing a bit over his promotion of war. He hated isolationists. He railed against the \u2018America First\u2019 mentality and naturally I disagreed with him on that.<\/p>\n<p>Still, his political cartoons were first-rate.
