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!"

Here’s a better picture of her but I don’t know how to post it.
Lol. It’s private now.
I would like to know how they came to choose a Cambridge school to receive those books. There are plenty of more deserving school districts in MA. that no doubt would have appreciated the donation.
LOL. Well, it's going to be hard to counter the sympathy generated by "Marian, the Librarian" in The Music Man! But, you have a point. And think twice before you donate books, or media, to your local library. Often they are ruthless on clearing the shelves. They'll accept anything, but then quickly discard it the next month at one of their sales. My local library will not keep any book over 5 years old unless it is an "Art" book. Better to donate unwanted books to a hospital -- check your VA -- or to one of the "Little Library" boxes popping up in neighborhoods around the country.
LOLOLOL! I’ve prayed through many a sermon myself, but never one that nutso!
Been there! Done that! Your turn; I’m DONE! :)
wow! you outed her big time!

That was awesome...
Your question is the same one I’d ask. What about Dorchester? Isn’t there a single elementary school in Dorchester? [There is.] I’d bet a set of personally signed—by Melania Trump—books that Dorchester would appreciate such a gift more than the brazenly moonbat Cantabrigians would.
That sermon was bizarre. At the time I was just worried it might never end. (Deep Thoughts from the pew, right?) But looking back I can see God’s purpose. How often do you get a life long lesson in geosocial politics from the pulpit? I had been hoping for spiritual edification, but instead got a rare view into the mindset of the Cantabrigian liberal. It’s served its purpose in the years since.

Thanks!
It most certainly is NOT. What about Black Fish, Brown Fish, you racist pig./s
Apparently it is. LOL
Hadn’t read that librarians screed until just now, but DAMN can women be nasty when they are jealous. So can me, but not with such bitter biting wordsmithing.
