“Licensing for some of Dr. Seuss' children’s books has been discontinued due to what some consider racist images. How do you feel about that?”
“I used to read them as a kid. I feel like they were very educational in learning how to read and making it easier to read. I don’t understand why they censored them though there are some who feel they should.”

“I don’t think it’s a good idea. I read them when I was a kid. There’s nothing wrong with them. They’re for the kids. A lot of people read them growing up and it’s taking away part of their history.”

“I believe the removal of Dr. Seuss’ books is wrong. I don’t agree with it. I think you can make anything racist. I think racist is a harsh term and I disagree with its removal from the schools.”

“I think it’s ridiculous. I don’t see any sense in it. Kids have been enjoying it for years, my kids, my grandkids, they love it. Kids understand it, adults don’t!”
