The information is provided to let people know what has been banned\/challenged elsewhere.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>2022<\/h2>\n<p>Dr. Seuss Enterprises issued a statement on March 2, 2021, announcing they would cease publication of six of Dr. Seuss\u2019s children\u2019s books due to racist stereotypes that \u201cportray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong.\u201d  The six titles withdrawn from publication were <strong>And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street<\/strong>, <strong>If I Ran the Zoo<\/strong>, <strong>McElligot\u2019s Pool<\/strong>, <strong>On Beyond Zebra!<\/strong>, <strong>Scrambled Eggs Super!<\/strong>, and <strong>The Cat\u2019s Quizzer<\/strong>. The titles contain offensive depictions of African and Asian people. Deborah Caldwell-Stone, director of the American Library Association\u2019s Office for Intellectual Freedom, said, \u201cAny author, or anyone publishing books, can make choices about what is out in the world.\u201d  Caldwell-Stone noted, however, that \u201can author\u2019s or publisher\u2019s decision to stop publishing a book should not be grounds alone for removing a book from a library\u2019s collection.\u201d  Libraries around the country are reacting in diverse ways. Some libraries will continue to circulate the books while not using them for displays or public readings. Other libraries are reviewing their options. And still other libraries are withdrawing the books from circulation.<\/p>\n<h2>On These Pages<\/h2>\n<p>A <strong>Banned<\/strong> book has been removed from a library, classroom, etc.<br \/>\nA <strong>Challenged<\/strong> book has been requested to be removed from a library, classroom, etc.<\/p>\n<h2>For additional information contact<\/h2>\n<p>Ron Titus, <a href=\"mailto:titus@marshall.edu\">titus@marshall.edu<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"tel:304-696-6575\">304-696-6575<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Last updated<\/h2>\n<p>August 22, 2022<\/p>\n<p><!-- ** ** END RIGHT COLUMN *** *-->\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n<p><!-- *** * END FULL PAGE DIV * blocked in the processing de*** --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":784,"featured_media":0,"parent":2039,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-full-width.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-11740","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11740","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/784"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11740"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11740\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11744,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11740\/revisions\/11744"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2039"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
