UCSD cuts Seuss loose
The author’s awful takes on race/ had started stinking up the place
The university had intended to put the home on the market, but recently revealed that it had been pre-emptively purchased by a private consortium representing Jim Carrey, Mike Myers, and Danny DeVito, stars of the Seuss-based films How the Grinch Stole Christmas, The Cat in the Hat, and The Lorax, respectively. In a statement, the three actors said they are “proud of the work we have already done to destroy Dr. Seuss’s racist, hateful storytelling legacy while simultaneously making gobs of cash with these terrible films, and are grateful for the opportunity to give back by buying the house where he gave shape to his wicked creations and literally dismantling it — while in full costume. We’re live-streaming it on Instagram; it’s gonna be hilarious! Or at least edifying.”
“Many prestigious universities are experiencing a moment of reckoning in this moment,” says Wanda Buttert, Chief Officer of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Purging at UCSD. “Yale, for instance, is wrestling with the fact that its founder Elihu Yale was a slave trader. Our school was founded centuries later than Yale, but you’re never too young to be stained by America’s racist underpinnings. It is well known that several of Dr. Seuss’s books were recently removed from publication due to their problematic portrayal of both Asians and Africans, two groups that have historically struggled here. Think of the noose in the library named for Dr. Seuss’s alter ego Ted Geisel, or the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes in the wake of covid-19. So while it’s true that Seuss’s widow once donated $20 million to the university, and that the Geisel Trust gave his longtime La Jolla home to the school in 2019, it’s also true that we cannot build a better, more inclusive future while holding on to the more shameful aspects of our past. So we’re selling the house on Mount Soledad known as Seuss’s Roost, from which he probably kept a lookout for people of color invading his beloved seaside enclave. The proceeds will go toward our DEIP fund, whose work is never done.”
