Maybe that's just because it was a pro-life group. I'd be horrified too. The moral of the Lorax was "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing's going to get better, it's not." These students obviously care, and have been receiving attention. I think Dr. Seuss would be proud to know that his legacy was being utilized in meaningful ways, provided that his lessons aren't twisted in a way that doesn't conform to the actual moral.

what the hell is he saying

Dr. Seuss would be ashamed to know that his book was being misconstrued for other needs. Research his reaction on the pro-life group using his line "A person's a person no matter how small." for their needs. He was horrified.
