THE ESTATE OF DR. SEUSS PULLED THE BOOKS!!! Perhaps there was some pressure because of the racist images, but NO ONE CANCELLED the books. The are just not printing those particular books anymore.

The estate likely already figured to take the loss on the decreased sales of those books, while the motivation (inclusion and mitigating the racist images) is admirable, it was a business decision. They aren't going to reverse themselves just because a bunch of stupid conservatives go on a shopping spree to get books with racist images.

They have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to offer the average American in terms of actual policy, so they have to go to this utterly ridiculous idea of "cancel culture" and make shit up.

In a 2013 interview with Adventist News Network, Carson said "You know, I'm proud of the fact that I believe what God has said, and I've said many times that I'll defend it before anyone. If they want to criticize the fact that I believe in a literal, six-day creation, let's have at it because I will poke all kinds of holes in what they believe."

Claim about Egyptian Pyramids
During a commencement speech at Andrews University in Michigan in 1998, Carson stated that he believed that the pyramids of Giza were created by the Biblical figure Joseph to store grain, despite the fact that the story of Joseph is set in the time of Egypt's Middle Kingdom, five centuries after the pyramids of Giza were built. When questioned about it again in 2015, he stood by his original assertion.

I would not store it in a bin,
I would not store it in a tin,

In a pyramid shall I store my grain,
In a pyramid shall I get a brain
