When did Dr. Seuss become hate speech? Last I checked, my extended family still reads Dr. Seuss books with their small children.

Yes, Seuss's family pulled a few books from production but I don't recall anyone decrying them.

I'm guessing GP is referring to how eBay banned third parties from selling used copies of the Dr. Seuss books in question. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26347654

Hm. I think it would have been in better taste to just have a flag on the items stating that the family has discontinued distribution for xyz reason.
