“Who has done more for literacy and tolerance than Dr. Seuss?”, Indeed!, Made reading fun for me and descendants!, Modern day Nazi Brownshirts offended
“When an opponent declares, “I will not come over to your side,” I calmly say, “Your child belongs to us already… What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.”…Adolf Hitler
“The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.”…Adolf Hitler

Just like in pre war Nazi Germany.
“ACHTUNG!
As a student of history, the more time passes with events eerily similar to those of pre war Nazi Germany, the more concerning these events become.”
“The pervasive theme: If you don’t like something or it offends you, destroy it regardless of historical significance or meaning to others. And do it in defiance of the law.
Just as in Nazi Germany, this has happened over recent years and continues.”
