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.

@MalteseFalconPunch it's better. I think there's a big group of people who will see the picture and not read the words lol. But there's no helping them.
I'd have titled the whole thing "Dr Seuss would have been fine with these books being removed" to make sure I really poked people in the eye with my social justice.
@MalteseFalconPunch which we're talking about this though, I finally got my toddler to the end of Green Eggs and Ham and I. Am. Concerned 😅
A story about one person repeatedly insisting that another person does something they find uncomfortable and the other person very clearly stating that they don't want to. Eventually the other person is beaten down by the constant badgering and gives in to their demands, then... Then they thank them. 😓
