SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) The mayor of Dr. Seuss' hometown fired back at a school librarian on Thursday who called the children's author's books "racist" and "cliche" in rejecting a donation of them from Melania Trump.
The comments of Cambridge Public Schools librarian Liz Phipps Soeiro were "political correctness at its worst," Springfield, Massachusetts, Mayor Domenic Sarno said in a statement.
"One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish, I think her comments stink and are ridiculous towards our beloved Dr. Seuss," he said.
Dr. Seuss, whose real name is Theodor Geisel, was born and raised in Springfield.....

The lady says her librarian has a graduate degree in “library science”
Maybe that person’s salary needs to cut.
You need a masters degree to be a librarian, so EVERY one of them have that.
Tucker Carlson was hilarious tonight on his Fox News show, as was Mark Steyn.
The librarian mafia is as left-wing and vicious as any profession in America. They have been taken over by rigid political correctness and rabid anti-Americanism. Not your grandparents’ librarians anymore!!!
she should be fired for turning down books for kids.
Okay.
That person’s salary still maybe needs to be cut.
This librarian is the problem and the exact person we must always right back against and be vigilant towards. She is the typical ‘I am with her’ supporter and she brings this into her work life as well.
JoMa
Somebody needs to look into just what kind of phony baloney “education” this librarian was tainted with.
LIBRARIAN, YOU’RE FIRED!
Well in private industry she would be, anyway.
Same woman - before the book donation; after the book donation.
Psychologically not well and unfit to be around children.
Her mother-in law called Boston NPR this AM and said that she is really a great person.
Her mother-in-law,for heaven’s sake.
.
this comes from the church the Obamas attended for 20 years. They learn to hate all things white and to upset the culture wth posionous venom In the immortal words of Rev Wright GD America.
You can go to the school library website and see the Dr Seuss books in their catalog.
Hey, Mayor, the librarian wasn't being politically correct...she was being an a$$hole.
Mother in law?
Looks like she lives with 50 cats & is clearly deranged.
Well, pfathinatin. I have been reading, of late, Thoreau’s work, A WEEK ON THE CONCORD AND MERRIMACK RIVERS, which he actually put to pen at Walden Pond, and is a companion piece to his more famous WALDEN work.
Well, early on he waxes poetical, not to say fantastical, about fish, observing for example,
“Think how in winter you can sink a line down straight in a pasture through snow and through ice, and pull up a bright, slippery, dumb, subterranean silver or golden fish!”
This put me in mind immediately of McElligot’s Pool, and if you read the paragraphs, I don’t know how you would disagree.
... so is Thoreau as well, who is a virtual Saint of the Left, about to be thrown overboard? I wouldn’t doubt it, if he hasn’t been already! ... which I wouldn’t doubt either.
