Seriously

I can not believe that in our United States A country known for the best debates A country known for equal rights A country that fairly wins our fights I can not believe this and neither should you There must be something we can do First, they began changing toys, I couldn't believe what I read There was nothing biased about Mr. Potato Head Barbie was built as a blonde skinny babe but that wasn't too made kids feels bad or afraid Now this next part is completely abstruse These idiots want to ban Dr. Seuss Six books are offensive and some say anti-Semitic I am Jewish from birth and just don't get it Others say he portrays races in a bad way Six of his books are going away Our children suffer can't go out to play The virus has taken so much away and now beloved books and toys what's next no music cause it makes noise? Dr. Seuss had children learning to rhyme I read to my patients all the time Dr. Seuss's characters are cartoon-like and funny they don't depict racial slurs or money I'm ashamed of our stupid generation will they omit history from education can't study wars of north and south no more Fred Flinstone with his big mouth society is truly becoming scary read what they say bout Little House on the Prarie and the elephant our beloved Babar this censorship has gone too far first the masks next what? Cages? we are returning to the dark ages I think all lives matter yay fight for that But you DO NOT MESS WITH CAT IN THE HAT!!!

People ashamed of their history try to re-write it; it is easier to acknowledge the struggles of the past so we don't make the same mistakes in the future. 70-odd years ago, I wrote to Walt Disney to suggest he make Thunder Cave into an animated film, but he thought there was no market for two "coloured" boys searching for their parents. Still a better book than Cat in the Hat! Aloha! Rico
