The Left Is Cancelling Dr Seuss

No one is canceling Dr. Seuss. He even notes at the end that "the Left" says this before completely distorting that too. Making the decision to stop the future publication of 6 books isn't canceling nor is it some slippery slope to stopping people from reading any Dr. Seuss books.
 
Responding to all criticism by calling it attempts to "cancel" and label him as "racist", the author fails to actually make any point. 

It's possible to appreciate the Cat in the Hat while also acknowledging that Dr. Seuss had a history of drawing offensive caricatures and included some in his books. It's possible to recognize that the Sneetches lesson of tolerance isn't the best lesson and doing so doesn't suggest that Seuss was racist. 

 It's actually a great story to teach that lesson.

 And just because you fail to see the point doesn't really mean it's not there.
