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. |
I'm sure that the run on Dr Suess books was triggered by the concern of "what's next". There are already articles saying that the Cat in the Hat is a racist book.
