Cancel culture is a virus.
This isn't cancel culture though, it's self-censorship. Cancel culture would be going after Dr. Seuss' granddaughter and getting her fired from her job. At best, you could say that the publishing company is being overly sensitive or virtue signaling but this is pretty normal, especially for really young children.

If I Ran a Zoo was written in 1950, when did wwII end? 1945...just some context on what was "OK" being said over 70 years ago.
Yea, I understand the context there. Is it something that we should be showing our kids these days? My great-grandma used to sing "eeny meeny miny moe, catch a nigger by the toe." Would it be wrong for kids these days to sing that same thing? I grew up saying things were "gay" and called people fags all the time. I certainly wouldn't want my kid to say those things though.
