"I'll never forget how the left tried to cancel Dr. Seuss,"

They didn't, and I hope I don't forget that I've told you that. However, the conservatives in my town did try to cancel the Lorax about 25 years ago.

Dr. Seuss estate says it will stop publishing 6 books with 'hurtful and wrong' depictions

While there has been a predictable uproar about "canceling" or "banning" Dr. Seuss, this move to remove the problematic books came from the Dr. Seuss estate itself, not some amorphous "cancel culture" mob. It's only six books out of 50 that will no longer be published so they don't keep putting out hurtful images. Some parents and educators have decided there are other authors they prefer to use to help kids learn to read due to Geisel's history—but that's not the same as banning his books. Some libraries and school districts have stopped highlighting Dr. Seuss books, but they are still available on the shelves.
