Families, students, and teachers across the nation have long embraced the brilliance of Theodor Geisel, commonly known as Dr. Seuss. But the famous author and his iconic literature are problematic in the current year, of course.
A study published this month and authored by self-described “critical race scholar-activists” Katie Ishizuka of The Conscious Kid Library and University of California PhD student Ramón Stephens dives into such allegedly problematic and racist facets of Seuss and his work. The study is aptly titled, “The Cat is Out of the Bag: Orientalism, Anti- Blackness, and White Supremacy in Dr. Seuss’s Children’s Books.”
