Shouldn’t be especially surprising. When I was still tenured faculty at the University of Calgary, my Dean went ballistic because I had posted “The Emperor’s New Suit” on my website (the link is to the original page I had – now living in exile on my own domain).

If Hans Christian Anderson poses a threat, then Dr. Seuss is surely right over the top.
Wait’ll they get wind of The Sneeches and Other Stories.
