I’m wondering where they go next:

Ceasing sales of these books is only part of our commitment and our broader plan to ensure Dr. Seuss Enterprises’s catalog represents and supports all communities and families.
Theodor Geisel did not support all communities. Instead he was a radical integrationist who wanted to break down barriers between them:

Teaching Children Philosphy: The Sneetches

Am I a radical integrationist? No. Do I think children should be shielded from books like that? No, just as they shouldn’t be shielded from books that celebrate diversity.

Maybe I am wrong, but I find it hard to believe this is just about a few drawings that make people who dress congruent with their race or ethnicity look silly. It will take a few years to see where the promised “broader plan” takes us.
