The claim that ‘you can’t ban a book if its copyright has expired’ is nonsensical. Various governments have banned books that either predate the concept of copyright or whose copyright has expired. However, the Seuss books in question in this thread haven’t actually been banned but are no longer published. A copyright owner discontinuing its own works is not a ‘ban’.
The left is so retarded its offically lost its collective minds.

Amazon deleted the books from your Kindle if you already owned them. This is a digital book burning.
The Seuss titles in question are still on the Amazon Kindle store. Could be regional variations.

minimus:
The listener, you can’t read them or buy them if the woke company decides to remove them from their circulation.
You make it sound like they're doing raids. A copyright owner has stopped publishing 6 books. Whether that's for good reasons, bad reasons, or no reason, that is up to them. But it doesn't mean resellers can't sell remaining stock or that they are 'being removed from circulation' or that people 'aren't allowed to read them'.

Anony Mous:
The President of the United States, who is supposed to uphold the first amendment, is removing it by statute.
Where do you get this nonsense from? This claim is a complete lie.

@Jeffro: read across America day was created in commemoration of and on the birthday of Theodore Geisel. The Biden admin “cancelled” Dr. Seuss books from its reading curriculum (which means someone in the Biden admin gave that order, which means there is a statute or directive to this fact somewhere, according to Psaki this was the DOE) and has said “I don't think there is any danger in ignoring a debate on Mr. Potato Head and Dr. Seuss”.
By ignoring the debate they aren’t upholding the spirit of the first amendment, by internal order they are removing books that Michele Obama and Melania Trump and other Presidents and First Ladies have had themed parties and book readings with. Sure it’s all fluff and PR but it is indicative of the spirit of this administration.

And if the Biden admin wants to be a uniting force as he promised, he should say: I don’t care about the woke left and the extreme right, I will promote reading, unifying books with good messages such as Dr. Seuss, anti-segregationist books like Huckleberry Finn and cautionary messages such as Fahrenheit 451 or Animal Farm.

What a load of nonsense. ‘Not mentioning an author’ is not a ‘statute’ in any way whatsoever.

Listener obviously doesn’t see the big picture.
The Combine of Social Media, E-Commerce, and the Far Left ( aspiring Communists/Overlords ) who are controlled by the Financial Elite are censoring thought and speech.
Not only are they saying, “You can’t think this and you can’t read that.”, they are now saying, “You can’t even buy this or that.”
Ebay is sweeping its marketplace of Dr. Seuss books that are banned. You can’t even buy them.
Amazon has deleted copies from Kindle, EVEN IF YOU ALREADY OWNED THE BOOK...
It’s not enough to stop printing these books, now they must be destroyed.
It’s just a small step away from the Government coming into your home to search for and remove reading material deemed unacceptable.
After all, who is the Government of not the persons put in place by the Elite? Social Media, Amazon, Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab. The Davos Group. These Globalists don’t even attempt to hide the future they desire. Less of YOU, more for them as they build the Neo-Feudalist Society of their dreams with you, if you survive, living in a “Smart City”, with the things you rent from them, doing the tasks they assign to you.
I hope you like The Hunger Games, because that is exactly where Society will be if the idiot, fake-woke Liberals and China Joe and his Masters are allowed to continue operating.
