I think Seuss would have been in favor of his offensive works being removed
He wrote books about how we're destroying the environment through rampant industry and consumerism.
He wrote books about being kind to people [i]because[/i] of our differences.
He went back and edited his old books to make them less offensive because he felt regret that his work would ever make anyone feel bad about themselves.
You wanna know what shitting on someone's legacy looks like?
Posting that kind of image and thinking Seuss wouldn't be in favor or removing anything offensive from his work is what shitting on someone's legacy looks like.

It is a real shame. Most of his stories are wonderful. The few that were cancelled were not commonly known or read, and they were a testament to the times we lived in.
Its a bit like saying they killed kids in Macbeth, let's ban Shakespeare.
@MalteseFalconPunch I get that, but as I said these were written in a time that dis nit recognise that it was offensive and should perhaps exist as an example of how bad things were.
Does that make sense? It is not about judging the author but the times we were in.
