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

If I was that teacher teaching in a town that had a 3% Black population in the year 2015, I may have felt like that book was a good way to introduce the idea of tolerance to 5 year olds.

Based on my professional experience teaching secondary social studies at a minority majority school and my graduate studies in education, I do not think it is the best lesson to teach tolerance.

My belief does not mean that I think Dr. Seuss is racist. I think it's a very fine short story, even if it's not the best for teaching that concept. 

The article you posted outright characterized that same criticism as people simply calling him racist. That's illogical and the author's insistence on arguing strawmen is why there's no actual point.
