Show Notes
Dr Seuss is getting "canceled".
Okay that is a little bit of a mis-portrayal. Six of his 60+ titles are no longer being printed or allowed to be licensed by the publisher. So he isn't fully being canceled. But there is a greater narrative at play worth examining.
First there is a list of 45 reasons Seuss should be canceled. In fact this list has been around a while and first published in the “Naked Communist” by Cleon Skousen, in March 1961 and was presented to US Congress in 1963 when a list of Current Communist Goals was presented to the US congress.
What is this list? Oh, nothing but a simple strategy to destroy family values, capitalism, democracy, and freedom as we know it . . . and sadly Dr. Seuss was just next in line for his day of reckoning.
I understand this is a highly contested issue as it touches on racism, anti racism, left v right, and the rabid cancel culture.
Some of you will think I conceded too many points to the left, and other I'm sure will think I've missed the tree for the forest (or the forest for the tree).
But one thing I know for certain . . . well . . . you'll have to listen to the episode to find out what that is.

What is Weaver & Loom?
In Weaver and Loom, we unravel the wonderment of the spiritual, natural, fate, and the divine through mythic and sacred story, biblical parables, ancient fables, and Christ-haunted narratives--getting lost in the mysteries of the our human creation so that we might grope our way to Christ and become illuminated in midsts of the mundane and sufferings of life.
