Not outraged, just politely criticizing the all-or-nothing attitude. As I cited, the cancelation of Dr. Seuss as an author may have begun. Maybe not. It's fair to wonder about this. I don't much care for some obscure, racist books that will no longer be published. I do care about these obscure books now standing in for his entire oeuvre and making him a de facto, toxic author not worth teaching or associating with. Wanting to tap the brakes on this "cancel culture" is a reasonable response, in my opinion.
