Dr. Seuss evolved over time and so did his work, explains his stepdaughter.
Dr. Seuss’ books should NOT be yanked from shelves — because all they need is a little context on page 1… so says a woman who was raised by the man himself. Leagrey Dimond — one of Dr. Seuss’ stepdaughters — tells TMZ she doesn’t think his work needs to be censored or stored away from public view… which is essentially what Dr. Seuss Enterprises did on Monday. Instead, Dimond suggests adding a disclaimer to the 6 books in question… something a lot of media companies have been opting for lately for questionable or outdated material with racist depictions. The same thing should happen here, in Dimond’s eyes anyway. She also has this to say about Seuss’ work — yes, some of his earlier publications and illustrations DID feature racist imagery, but his legacy shouldn’t hinge on that alone… as she insists the full breadth of his literature shows he’s a good guy and evolved over time.
