Is the Cat in the Hat Racist? Watch The Best Man Holiday HD 1080P. Read Across America Shifts Away From Dr. Seuss and Toward Diverse Books.
For 2. 0 years, Read Across America has been synonymous with youngsters wearing red and white striped hats sitting down for story time on March 2, Dr. Seuss’s birthday. But this fall, the biggest national literacy awareness program, sponsored by the National Education Association (NEA), will be shifting its focus toward a year- round promotion of diverse children’s books. It’s a change resulting from both a heightened awareness of representation in kid lit, as well as growing scrutiny of racial imagery in the work of the beloved children’s book author. Katie Ishizuka has been analyzing Seuss’ body of work for the past year. Ishizuka [a cousin of Kathy Ishizuka, SLJ’s executive editor] and her husband, Ramon Stephens, founded the Conscious Kid Social Justice Library, a subscription service which sends its subscribers monthly shipments of titles featuring multicultural characters.
Stephens is a Ph. D. student in education at the University of California at San Diego, home to the Theodor Seuss Geisel Library, where he first came across a collection of the cartoonist’s early work—World War II political cartoons, featuring slurs and racist drawings of Japanese Americans, portraying them as a danger to nation. Ishizuka, whose grandparents and other relatives were sent by the U. S. government to internment camps during World War II, was very upset.
My grandmother was fired from her job at Seattle schools [and] then incarcerated,” she says. This had real impact on my personal family. Thinking about how widely beloved and celebrated Seuss is as an author was another blow.”In March 2. Ishizuka wrote a piece on the website Blavity about Seuss’ anti- Japanese cartoons, along with work that used the N- word and depicted blacks at a slave auction or rendered to resemble monkeys. She also pointed out images portraying Middle Eastern men as camel- riding sultans and women as hyper- sexualized harem dwellers. But what Ishizuka found even more troubling were racist images hidden in plain sight in Seuss’s popular picture books.
Ishizuka, who holds a Master’s degree in social work, conducted a critical race analysis of 5. Seuss and found that 9. The Cat in the Hat and blackface minstrelsy“In addition to how people of color are portrayed in his children’s books through Orientalist and anti- Black stereotypes and caricatures, they are almost always presented as subservient, and peripheral to, the white characters,” concludes Ishizuka in her study. She points out that the Cat in the Hat, perhaps Seuss’ most famous character, is based on minstrel stereotypes. The Cat’s physical appearance, including the Cat’s oversized top hat, floppy bow tie, white gloves, and frequently open mouth, mirrors actual blackface performers; as does the role he plays as ‘entertainer’ to the white family—in whose house he doesn’t belong,” says Ishizuka.

She isn’t the first scholar to point out racial stereotypes in Dr. Seuss’ picture books. Kansas State University English professor Phillip Nel recently published a book Was the Cat in the Hat Black? The Hidden Racism in Children’s Literature, and the Need for Diverse Books, which examines The Cat in the Hat’s roots in blackface minstrelsy. However the cat, along with his striped headwear, is also associated with Read Across America, just as Clifford the Big Red Dog is synonymous with the literacy organization Reading is Fundamental.“One of the reasons we partnered with Seuss 2.
Steven Grant, a NEA spokesperson, who has also managed the Read Across America program since 2. That was the strategy up front, so kids would see Dr. Seuss’s Cat in the Hat and spark some attention.” The program has successfully reached children nationwide; Grant estimates that 4.

But not all families think the author should be celebrated. In March, two Japanese- American children in South Pasadena, CA, saw their school’s Dr. Seuss Week in conjunction with Read Across America as a chance to educate their classmates about the cartoonist’s role in fanning fears that led to the internment of Japanese Americans. Their teachers and administrators shut them down, wouldn’t allow them to hand out the flyers, and told them school was not the appropriate place for that,” says Ishizuka. To me, this was alarming and represented a serious racial justice issue.” Ishizuka also points out that black children may feel uncomfortable going to school on Read Across America Day.

It’s very dehumanizing for black children to be expected to wear one of those hats.”In April, Ishizuka sent a copy of her 4. NEA, which organizes Read Across America. Last year was the first year in my 1. NEA] that I had seen so much bubble up as far as concerned interests,” says Grant, who praises Ishizuka’s recommendations for suggested authors and partner organizations to bring wider representation to the event. Even before Ishizuka sent the material, NEA’s Read Across America advisory committee (comprised of teachers, education support professionals, librarians, and others) had already been discussing issues surrounding Seuss’ early work, based on Richard H.
Minear’s 2. 00. 1 book Dr. Seuss Goes to War, which critiques the cartoonist’s early political drawings, including the anti- Japanese works. Grant adds that that for the past two years, the NEA board has already shifting Read Across America’s mission towards promoting diverse literature and reaching a broader range of readers. Ishizuka and Stephens emphasize that they’re not trying to ban Dr.
Seuss. “It’s not about reading or not reading certain books, it’s about raising awareness around the social and systemic bias that such books promote,” says Stephens. Dr. Seuss and whiteness is a reflection of the overwhelming silence in literacy regarding matters of race, especially with both young people and white people.”This fall, for the 2. Read Across America will place greater emphasis on year- round literacy with its annual calendar. In its 1. 0th year in print, the calendar features monthly book recommendations along with online resources. The 2. 01. 7–1. 8 calendar features the theme of “Building a Nation of Diverse Readers” and gives monthly suggested titles for elementary, middle school, and high school students.
