First lady Melania Trump fired back Friday at a Massachusetts elementary school librarian who rejected her donation of Dr. Seuss books, claiming their illustrations are examples of “racist propaganda.”
Stephanie Grisham, director of communications for the first lady's office, said in a statement to Fox News that the response was "unfortunate," and Mrs. Trump wanted to use her platform "to help as many children as she can."
"She has demonstrated this in both actions and words since her husband took office, and sending books to children across the country is but one example," she said. "To turn the gesture of sending young students some books into something divisive is unfortunate, but the First Lady remains committed to her efforts on behalf of children everywhere."
To celebrate “National Read a Book Day,” the first lady had sent out a collection of 10 Dr. Seuss books to one school in each state across the nation. The titles included: "The Cat in the Hat"; "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish"; "Wacky Wednesday"; "Green Eggs and Ham"; and "Oh, the Places You’ll Go!"

Wow! I still have a memory of the old lady librarians who had hair tied in buns and orthopedic shoes. They were vicious! And who can forget the mean librarian in “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn” who never once had a kind word for Francie?
Do we have a new horror genre here?
I have lived long enough to know that ordinary-looking women are jealous of fabulous-looking women. God bless Melania, it’s not your fault, honey, it’s the women consumed by envy.
Yeah. “Consider this a reprimand. You will be getting a raise when the dust settles. Thank you for calking out that racist Melania”.
That sort of reprimand.
I must admit I didn’t care for Seuss’s advertising cartoons. He was better at writing children’s books.
Also, idk anything about his supposed late entry into the environmental issue. However, a Democrat that came of age during WWII is a lot more conservative than modern Democrats. Maybe that’s what has the Cambridge librarian worked up into a lather.
Thanks KC.
Well, I’m sure her circle passes around his cartoons which look like standard cartoons of the 30s and early 40s. These SJWs are absolutely obsessed with ferreting out every bit of “racism” they can find in American society. Bore, bore, bore.
You can bet your a** that the librarian not only wrote the "Dear White Supremist" letter but had several people help her.
Women don't keep their mouths shut.
Everyone was surely excited about something from the White House and plenty of folks were standing around for the unwrapping. I can imagine the conversation.
“I work in a district that has plenty of resources, which contributes directly to ‘excellence,’” Soeiro wrote. “My students have access to a school library with over nine thousand volumes and a librarian with a graduate degree in library science.”
Clearly, the haughty bitch couldn’t be bothered to graciously accept the books and then quietly donate them to a less fortunate school.
Think about what would have happened to a “librarian” who pulled a similar stunt on the Wookie.
Cambridge is perhaps the moonbattiest place in MA next to Amherst. I attended a church service in Cambridge, and the entire, never ending sermon was about how there was more cachet in owning a one bedroom apt. in Cambridge than a mansion in Belmont—one of the more posh suburbs that borders the Cambridge/Boston hub. Before it was over I was praying to the Good Lord that if he sustained me for that sermon, I would never return to that particular congregation. Idk what was in that deal for God, but He mercifully saw me through the service, and I had no problem keeping my end of the bargain.
What a story!!!
Suppressed! Good movie, though.
‘Think about what would have happened to a “librarian” who pulled a similar stunt on the Wookie.’
She/he would probably still be alive. Which is more than can be said for any librarian who tried it on Hillary.
I believe Stephen King covered that in his short story “The Libray Policeman” with an evil monster of a librarian who fed off the fear of children. :)
Children have been in my Safe Space. It is full of books that aren’t in order.
If you put them in order, they will suddenly see that they want to look at every last one of them. They always destroy order. It is in the manual.
I know. The whole universe is against us.
You can be a CNA in six weeks and work in a nursing home.
We have one in the military, one graduated from college (the ex-deli guy), three in community college, and five still at home. No debt!
The Board over this librarian has informed her that she does not have the right to reject the books.
One school in every state was chosen. Why was there no apparent effort made to donate books to needy schools? A donation of this type to a snooty school like Cambridge elementary is gratuitous and open to just the pandering to leftist doggerel it received.
