This mess is so big and so deep and so tall, I can’t clean it up, there is no way at all.
An obvious reference to the inner cities.

That's the kind of place where Lenin looks down from the cafeteria wall. Its about as left leaning as you can get.

I felt very connected to Cat in the Hat racial activism particularly activism that feels loaded with potential such as seen below. Not the oppositional Cat in the Hat racial activism that seems like theres a stasis around it earnestly sincere, but a monolith.

Can Dyslexia Be Artificially Induced in School? Yes, Says Researcher Edward Miller, by by Samuel L. Blumenfeld March 1992
Excerpt:
The publishers believed that if the children could memorize the words in the books, they would be better prepared for the sight-reading instruction they would get in the first grade. An ad for The Beginning Readers Program states:
"The words are just right for young readers, too. Theyre in large, clear type. They often tell the story in rhyme. And theyre so closely related to the pictures that, with a little help from Morn and Dad, even preschoolers can start reading all by themselves. And when a preschooler is turned on to reading by Dr. Seuss and his friends he generally stays turned on to reading for life."
What the ad didnt tell parents is that if the child was permitted to develop an automatic configurational, spatial-holistic way of identifying words, then that child would be dyslexic when dealing with the much larger reading vocabulary beyond the few hundred words he or she had memorized. And with the advent of audio cassettes, the child could learn to memorize the words even without the help of Mom or Dad. But if the child had been taught to read phonetically from the very beginning, he or she would never become dyslexic.

You can really tell what’s at a person’s core when they start trotting out their heros.
Caesar Chavez’s big union, the proudest crowning achievement of his life, had around 1000 members at this death.
This in a state of about 30 million people at the time of his death.
Here she is touting his magnificent life.
We have streets named after the guy. LOL
It would be more fitting to name a sewer reclamation facility after him.

Insubordination is a bad character trait. Especially over such manufactured matters as hers.

Another fact that many people are unaware of is that Dr. Seusss illustrations are steeped in racist propaganda, caricatures, and harmful stereotypes.
A cat, in a hat? Racist?
Just when you think you’ve seen it all, the Left outdoes itself in absurdities.

“Brer Rabbit And the Tar Baby” would really drive this leftist off a cliff. (Never mind the tale itself is African in origin)
To: Olog-hai
If blacks demand to be separate it is “black power” and “racial justice”.
If whites demand that blacks be separate it is “white racism”, “white privilege”, and “jim crow”.
Didn’t they teach you _anything_ at school, honkey?

Sheesh! These leftists are using every single avenue they can to scream “white supremacy” and “racist”. The goal of course is to establish everything done by whites, especially white slave owners, is racist so it must be redone with the end goal of re-writing the US Constitution. Bill O’Reilly was the first to recognize where all of this is heading.
The left knows it can’t simply nullify our Constitution without first convincing the slow-witted among us that the white slave owners who wrote the US Constitution is obsolete. It doesn’t matter that there were 300k white slaves at the time or that blacks owned slaves or that it was simply a societal norm at the time much like hiring temp workers is today. It was just a way to get things done.
If they knew what the left is up to today; they would have hired workers, if they could find them, to do the work needed in the fields. Possibly brought in more indentured servants (slaves) from Europe to work off their fines. White slaves were treated far more severely than black slaves at the time because they had an expiration date of use. Blacks were around from generation to generation; or at least that was the thought at the time.
Keep your powder dry and your knives sharp folks; we’re gonna need ‘em. These racist commies are backing us into a corner with only one way out; to fight to maintain our freedoms.

If a communist writes a good children’s book, are conservatives to disregard the product because of its origin, or to celebrate the achievement?
