If you want to buy Dr. Seuss’s The Cat’s Quizzer on Amazon, it will set you back $628.75 on the secondhand market. If you try to buy it on eBay, you may not find it at all. According to a spokesman for the auction site, “EBay is currently sweeping our marketplace to remove” six Dr. Seuss books recently deemed offensive by politically correct censors.
Dr. Seuss’s cancelation comes on the heels of Amazon’s decision to ban When Harry Became Sally, Ryan T. Anderson’s whimsically titled, scholarly assessment of transgenderism. Amazon has refused to give an explanation for banning Anderson’s book in particular, but has defended past decisions to censor by pointing to its publishing guidelines, according to which the company reserves the right to ban “hate speech…or other material we deem inappropriate or offensive.”
