I really think this is the truth of it.
Keep in mind, for a lot of these people, Dr. Seuss was the last book they read.
And I’m not necessarily talking about childhood.
Happily, the Seuss and Cuomo stories are the biggest stories in America right now, because everything is going so swimmingly! Thanks, Biden!
Now if they go after Thidwick, the Big-Hearted Moose… (My fave!) 
Librarian here too, also for 30 years (now retired). However, I spent my entire career in university libraries, where issues like this rarely come up. My only contact with children’s books was occasionally having to catalog them.
I respect your decision. I’m still a bit skeptical that there will be mass withdrawals of the six questionable Seuss books. I’ve been browsing news stories about how libraries are reacting to this, and the responses I’ve seen are mostly either “we’re assessing what to do next” or “we are absolutely not removing the books.”
Gonna see my daughter - a youth librarian - tomorrow. Interested in getting her take on this. (But she and I have previously disagreed on deaccession policy!)

Darren, come on. We don’t need to see that, it isn’t funny, and it’s not on topic. A warning is not necessary at this time but use your common sense.

Wait? he was gay? I guess his performance was pretty bad…
He was (implied) in the book.
Haven’t read thread (so maybe already mentioned), but hopefully Little Black, A Pony is cool. 
Back in the 70’s, my sister and I utterly destroyed our Dr. Seuss library with the give-me-a-noun-verb-adjective game.
Children and adults, alike, might’ve taken issue with our amendments. Publishing probably would have been a non-starter.
Looking through On Beyond Zebra! on archive.org and the only pages that I see could be offensive are here and here. But neither person is supposed to be representative of any real nationality. Is it because of how they are dressed?
Thank goodness some libraries are taking a stand against woke censorship. People can still read the Doctor Seuss books. Eventually the copies on hand will wear out and they will disappear. I hope scanned ebooks will be archived somewhere (for example,The Internet Archive)for the future generations.
Please explain how a publisher deciding, on its own, to stop reprinting a nearly 100-year-old book, is “censorship”.
I think there was more to it than that. The phrase had its roots in the fear Southern whites had of miscegenation and the possibility that their family trees may not be all that white. It was a crude way of referring to someone who may have had at least one ancestor who was the result of an illicit union between a black slave and a white master.
It is unreasonable to expect these books to stay in print forever. I suppose some people might be upset for the censorship angle. I can dig it. But how many copies of Beyond Zebra are sold nowadays? At some sad point all the Doctor Seuss books will be gone. That is only natural.
My students like Seuss books and take no offense at Green eggs and Ham and One Fish, Two FIsh.
I do like the fellow in a turban atop a sortacamel. They seem happy. It makes me smile.
Should publishers be forced to publish all books until the end of time, or just the ones that are racially and/or sexually offensive?
Out of all the books pulled off the shelf by the New York Public Library over the years, why would the removal of these six books upset you? Have you read them?
Can we still use it to describe some dancers? The alternative is worse.
Not if they’re from Boston.
