Virginia School District Cancels Dr. Seuss Themed ‘Read Across America Day’ for ‘Racial Overtones’
Loudoun County Public Schools, one of Virginia’s largest school districts, has now cancelled Dr. Seuss due to “racial overtones.”
Each year on the beloved children’s author’s birthday, schools across the country host “Read Across America Day” in his honor.
However, this year, activists with a liberal group called Learning for Justice are pressuring schools to drop the fun celebration. You see, while the right wants to keep children out of politics — the left is obsessed with reaching them as young as possible with their agenda.
“Realizing that many schools continue to celebrate ‘Read Across America Day’ in partial recognition of Dr. Seuss’ birthday, it is important for us to be cognizant of research that may challenge our practice in this regard,” Loudoun County Schools said in an announcement obtained by the Daily Wire.
