Seuss, whose real name is Theodor Seuss Geisel, was born on March 2, 1904, and passed away in 1991. Presidential proclamations declaring the celebration have been issued by former Presidents Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Donald Trump, with most mentioning Seuss by name. But Biden drew fierce criticism after his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/presidential-actions\/2021\/03\/01\/a-proclamation-on-read-across-america-day-2021\/\">2021<\/a> proclamation made no mention of Seuss at all. The Daily Wire\u2019s Cabot Phillips wrote <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/according-to-joe-bidens-standards-joe-biden-should-be-canceled\">at the time<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>As part of \u201cRead Across America Day,\u201d Joe Biden recently took part in an annual presidential tradition, unveiling his book list for the country\u2019s school children.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Notably absent from the list was the very author whose birthday the celebration commemorates: Dr. Seuss.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The conspicuous omission comes as the woke mob, alongside local school districts, pushes to \u201ccancel\u201d his work for supposedly being replete with \u201cracial undertones\u201d not conducive for \u201cculturally responsive\u201d learning. The company which controls Dr. Seuss\u2019s estate even ceased publication of six books they found to be particularly\u00a0\u201churtful.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Though the Biden administration didn\u2019t give a specific reason for keeping Dr. Seuss from the list, if you believe they happened to omit the most popular children\u2019s author in American history, on the holiday set on his birthday by accident, and not for fear of offending the outrage mob, you\u2019re living in a world as outlandish and fantastical as one of Seuss\u2019s creations.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Biden administration has tacitly canceled Dr. Seuss because some of his work doesn\u2019t live up to their modern day \u201cwoke\u201d standards.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Biden\u2019s omission of Seuss in his 2021 proclamation followed news that the Loudoun County Public Schools district in Virginia announced that it would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/oh-the-places-the-woke-will-go-dr-seuss-canceled-for-racial-undertones\">no longer recognize<\/a> Dr. Seuss in its celebration of Read Across America Day. An announcement from the district instructed schools to avoid \u201cconnecting Read Across America Day with Dr. Seuss,\u201d saying that his books contained \u201cracial undertones\u201d that are not suitable for \u201cculturally responsive\u201d learning.<\/p>\n<p>The District\u2019s decision came after a left-wing teachers\u2019 organization called Learning for Justice published an article claiming that Dr. Seuss\u2019s works did not contain enough characters of color, and those characters were often \u201c\u2018presented in subservient, exotified, or dehumanized roles,\u2019\u201d to the white characters.<\/p>\n<p>In reaction, Dr. Seuss Enterprises, which manages the author\u2019s estate, announced that it would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/six-dr-seuss-books-to-stop-being-printed-day-after-biden-left-out-author-from-read-across-america-day\">discontinue the publication<\/a> of six books that contained particularly overt racial imagery. Online auction site <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/now-its-ebay-website-reportedly-bans-sale-of-some-dr-seuss-books\">eBay<\/a> also announced it would ban sales of the discontinued books, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/chicago-public-library-removes-several-dr-seuss-books-from-collection-while-they-assess\">Chicago Public Library<\/a> pulled the books from its shelves in response as well.<\/p>\n<p><i><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
