Dr Seuss Banned Books Collection [PDF] [XannyFamily]
As you may have seen in the news recently, six Dr Seuss classics have not only been discontinued by the publisher, but further, retailers including Barnes & Noble and eBay are removing all listings for existing copies of these books.
While it is the right of a publisher to stop publishing their own works, the pressure put on retailers to remove all listings effectively pushes this through the blurry lines of censorship. If we cannot draw the line at banning the sale of books, how is this any better than book burning?
eBay is removing all listings for those who may wish to purchase these books legitimately because they're supposedly racist. And yet they will happily sell you a copy of Mein Kampf.
I believe history should not be forgotten and works of fiction should be considered as products of their time. There are many many old books, movies, TV shows, and other media that could easily be considered offensive today. Should they be forced down people's throats? Absolutely not. But nor should they be banned.
After all, if these books truly are offensive, we should remember the old aphorism: "those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
Here is the full collection of all six banned Dr Seuss books. I will let you decide for yourself how offensive you believe them to be. I release them in the spirit of the moral values outlined above and the belief in freedom of information. You can ban stores from selling paper books but you cannot stop a peer-to-peer network.
Seed seed seed.

 | "I have read all 6 of them 2-3 times each and I can't find a damn thing wrong with any of them." I read one and it was very obvious (it was if I ran the zoo) Are you trolling or did you miss the part where it straight up says Asians wear 'slanted eyes'? and all the pictures with racist (or at very least stereotypical) depictions of other non-white cultures? |

| And RIP Pepe le Pew you sex assault skunk aswell. Im beside myself that a society has come to ban/omit/hate these cartoons when most kids can play Grand Theft Auto and set the hooker (they just had relations with) on fire and kill her to get their money back. Then go on a killing spree until the army is sent.... but thats just fine..... pathetic. |

 | Thank you very much for these. I look on Amazon and they were selling as much as $9000 each. |

 | I don't usually download random torrents. I typically come knowing what I want, and I download it. But when I saw this in the top torrents scrollbar on the home page, I knew I had to get it. Although I, along with my kids, are well above the age of reading Dr. Seuss, I want to have copies of these solely because society is trying to tell me I am not allowed to have them. Thank you for spitting in the eye of censorship. |

| Getting too political, but technically these books were not banned. They were pulled by the copyright holder. My understanding is this was voluntary and based on their opinion of the world, and was not forced by anyone or group. That being said...thank you for posting this, as I do not agree with their actions, but would rather people focus the "blame" on the correct people/groups. |

| I think "banned" is a bit of an exaggeration, but I appreciate the upload. |

 | @Guest-7337 I don't have more to hand but the popular ones are easy to come across. I wanted to create a digital archive of these banned ones, finding some of these wasn't easy because some are obscure. Glad you enjoyed them, good little trip down memory lane! |

| But rap and hip hop music containing the same words Blacks do not like to be called and yet they use it to call each other all the time in an AFFECTIONATE MANNER is allowed. |
