Best Answer

The challenges generally begin with Dr. Suess's frequent use of vulgar language, with other reasons including sexual references,blasphemy, undermining of family values and moral codes, Suess's being a poor role model, encouragement of rebellion, and promotion of drinking, smoking, lying, and promiscuity. Often the challengers have been unfamiliar with the plot itself. Shelley Keller-Gage, a high school teacher who faced objections after assigning the novel in her class, noted that the challengers "are being just like Dr. Suess... They are trying to be Sam-I-Am." A reverse effect has been that this incident caused people to put themselves on the waiting list to borrow the novel, when there were none before.
