Dr Seuss Canceled by Virginia School System for ‘Read Across America’ Deadline

In Virginia, they do not like green eggs and ham, or Dr. Seuss.

The good Doctor Seuss, aka Theodor Geisel, was turned away from the annual ‘Read Across America’ event, a national day to encourage reading. Dr. Seuss books have long been an important step in the program.

Dr. Seuss, a major provider of content for television and film by characters such as The Grinch, the Cat in the Hat, and Horton Hears a Who, was banned according to the school system because his books allegedly had a strong racial undertone. .

The schools in Loudon County, Virginia, said they would look at books that they believe are more “inclusive and diverse and reflective of our student community,” a spokesman said.
