Look, I'm sure the Seuss Foundation has noticed stories popping up here and there and reviewed the books on their own and decided six of them are too dated to continue to be published today. My guess would be they would have no problem with the books continuing to be published for adults and I would bet they will be brought back in some form.

However, since these are children's books and when something similar happened to Tintin in the Congo it was stuck in the children's section anyway, for now their best course of action is to withdraw those books.

That is not the same as:
