"Pretty much all the stuff you need to know is in Dr. Seuss," he said to a smiling group of White House interns.
The Associated Press reported on Tuesday that six Dr. Seuss books would no longer be published by Dr. Seuss Enterprises.
"These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong," Dr. Seuss Enterprises told The AP. "Ceasing sales of these books is only part of our commitment and our broader plan to ensure Dr. Seuss Enterprises' catalog represents and supports all communities and families."
The Washington Post published a so-called "Perspective" article that effectively claimed Dr. Seuss was a lifelong racist whose anti-minority views "Leached into his children's books like toxic mold in the basement - easy but dangerous to ignore."
President Joe Biden went so far as to erase any mention of Dr. Seuss in his proclamation on Tuesday's National "Read Across America Day." This was a stark contrast from both Obama and Trump, who praised Dr. Seuss on the same day during their presidencies, Fox News reported.
If Dr. Seuss has always been a vicious bigot, then he was just as terrible when Obama praised him as he is now.
Children need to read works like those of Dr. Seuss that teach truly important values.
