DailyKenn.com — The rumors are not true, reports Tom Starnes. Dr. Seuss books were not banned from Loudoun County Public Schools in Virginia.
200 latest news reports from 100 top conservative websites
Rather, the popular children's books have been vilified due to alleged racist overtones.
I fail to see the difference.
If Theodor Seuss “Ted” Geisel has been stigmatized, marginalized, and stereotyped as a racist, then he has effectively been banned. No teacher would be caught dead reading The Cat in the Hat to her classroom. While Green Eggs and Ham have not been banished from school lunchrooms, the undertone about the racist overtone permeates the school's milieu.
Why is Marxism hell-bent on finding racism in every nook and cranny?
The answer is: It's a common us-vs-them thought reform technique. The intent is to provoke fear, angst, anxiety and other negative emotions. Why? Because it's difficult to think rationally and think emotionally at the same time. Thought reformers don't want us to think rationally. So, they elicit the fear emotion to displace reason.
Fear short circuits our critical thinking and transfers our thought processes from the rational dorsolateral region of our brains' prefrontal cortex to the emotional ventromedial region.
Extremist cults use it because it works. So does Marxism.
But what if there is no "them?" What if there is nothing to fear but fear itself?
In that case, thought reformers invent boogeymen. It may come in the form of racism, homophobia, xenophobia, male chauvinism, man-made climate change or some other concocted myth.
To maintain control of our minds, the boogeymen (or boogeypersons) must be omnipresent; we must sense them everywhere all the time.
For that reason, the far-left perpetuates notions such as "dog whistles" microaggressions, white privilege, and cultural appropriation. They want to make sure we are attune to the danger even when it is obviously nonexistent.
To that end they have vilified as racist The National Anthem, the American flag, the Confederate flag, single-family dwellings, the Second Amendment, Shakespeare, cultural appropriation, ad infinitum.
The technique is essentially the same as sensing ghosts. Again, it creates fear and dispels reason.

Dr. Seuss books have not been banned in Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS). LCPS believes this rumor started because March 2 is “Read Across America Day.” Schools in LCPS, and across the country, have historically connected Read Across America Day with Dr. Seuss’ birthday. Research in recent years has revealed strong racial undertones in many books written/illustrated by Dr. Seuss.
