Again... hardly the "woke" cancel-culture people are blaming for the recent news. Very few of the people screaming "they're banning Dr. Seuss!" today are aware of the 2017 "pressure" you're pointing out. As I said; the outrage over the recent not-really-news is where my interest lies. If people want to accuse the NEA and a couple of other children's book authors of pressuring the Seuss estate back in 2017 into making the decision to stop reprinting these 6 books in 2021, they have my blessing. But that's not what I see/hear happening. What I see is people drumming up a furor so they can create a strawman to blame for it.
