    I see nothing in your link that identifies outsiders who somehow forced the family to do this. Maybe you can provide that information to support your claim.

    Also, I thought there was a lot of concern about nastiness on Civics with an effort to tone it down. It is not working.
    Yes. This family is so easily controlled by outsiders that they cannot make their own decisions. Just like you are so easily controlled by outsiders to be fearful for your life over covid. Just like statues are toppling and LIncoln has been cancelled and sports teams are changing their names because of a few whiners, etc. ad infinitum ad nauseum.

    And my 11 year old granddaughter has more common sense than you.

      Wow --- lemme guess - you fully experienced the 60's and are now paying the price.

              Seriously, I looked at the titles of the books being retired (not banned) and had never heard of any of them. Have you heard of them before this?
              Reread the first post in this thread. It was about Fairfax VA banning the books because of "racism". AFTER that happened and became news, the publisher decided to stop publishing the books because of the racism. At no point did they say they were just 'retiring' the books because of a lack of sales. So take your idiotic gaslighting attempt away.

                    She doesn't seem to understand that school systems banning them, libraries removing them and Biden striking them from 2021 Read Across America Day[1] is not the publisher deciding to "retire" the books. It is censorship.

                      She doesn't seem to understand very much of anything.

                        Maybe Snopes should fact check it.

                          • Been wondering how long it will be before the National Seuss Registry will come into effect. The Seuss Stasi (or SS) will search all our homes and if they find Seuss books we didn't declare we will be arrested and thrown into prison. We will have to turn in all the offensive ones when we declare them and only be allowed to keep the non-offensive ones. I wonder if there is a list of those somewhere.

                            Unless we bury them in the back 40 like people have done with their long guns......
