Theodore Geisel, AKA Dr. Seuss, was born on this day, March 2 in 1904. He passed away in 1991. He wrote and illustrated many of my favorite and my son’s favorite books from early childhood.

Yes, I know he’s being canceled. Or at least some of his books are. Some people have decided that they have racist content.

Really? Dr. Seuss?

Whatever.

I don’t really care they claim about his books. I’m getting really tired of people saying I shouldn’t have access to reading material (or movies, or…) because they don’t approve of it or it isn’t woke enough. And don’t get me started on the recent attempt to get Baen Books deplatformed.

I don’t need someone to tell me what I can’t read. Or what I should read. I’ll read whatever I please, and it’s no one’s business what I read. If someone objects to it, that’s only going to make me read more of it. *Looks at shelves containing Kipling, Haggard, Howard, Lovecraft, and Uncle Remus.* That includes Dr. Seuss. What I’m going to read even less of than I already do is what’s coming out of the major publishers or anything promoted because it’s woke.

If that last paragraph offends you, go screw yourself.
