      From the point of view of the estate this went much better than planned. They got huge sales and can drop some of the weaker titles.

          They threaded the needle of short term "anti-cancel culture" sales and long term reinforcing staying power.

          It's downright impressive. The company decided to cancel a handful of less-popular, rightly-criticized titles and then got a huge boost in sales... as a protest against their own decision?

          well, no one said the people who were upset about their decision were all that bright maybe they will read some of these books and begin a wonderful journey of education!

          I still don’t understand the dr Seuss controversy. There were only two essays written about the ‘racist undertones’ that never made a definitive correlation. What am I missing??

          Conservatives are angry at Seuss Enterprises for dropping 6 books that had racist imagery, so they punished them by buying millions of copies of all the Seuss books that don't have racist imagery.

          Was just reading a NYT article which noted that “'McElligot’s Pool' and 'The Cat’s Quizzer' haven’t sold in years through the retailers BookScan tracks."

          I love the perspective of these people. "We'll show them by ordering more books!" from the people who actually made the decision to cancel six titles.
