Theodore Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, might be one of the most read authors in the English (or, more accurately, the sort-of English) language. Since The Cat in the Hat was published in 1957, generations of American children have sounded out simple words while reading about the eponymous cat and the havoc he wreaked with Thing One and Thing Two on a boring, rainy day. However, the wokerati have now come for Geisel, claiming that his weird, mostly zoomorphic creations are, in fact, racist.
