• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Dr. Seuss is now "offensive". Can someone who has kids with these books explain why?

My kids are 24 and 19 so I no longer read them bedtime stories, but when they were youngsters they (and I as well) really enjoyed reading Dr. Seuss books to them for bedtime. So apparently now there are hurtful and offensive images and themes in 6 of those books - And To Think I Saw It On Mulberry Street, If I Ran the Zoo, The Cat's Quizzer, On Beyond Zebra, Scrambled Eggs Super, and McElligot's Pool. I only know "Mulberry Street", and cannot think of what is so offensive about it. Can anyone with kids who read these books explain this, other than telling me what I already know that libs are mentally deranged. Thank you.
