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!"

I had to see if I could find a picture of this ungrateful witch ... and wow, she is really somebody in the library world...
Just for the record, Thidwick the Bighearted Moose isn’t leftist. It’s anti-socialism.
Seuss, racist? How? Is the lorax alt right?
Anything and everything is racist, if it advances their agenda to label it as racist.
The most blatant racist is *not racist* if it advances their agenda to promote it.
For example, calling all white people racist by birth, is blatant racist, but is accepted by the left as valid.
But But but the red fish is before the blue fish. It's a code for red states over blue states. Red supremacy Red privilege
I chaired two search committees to hire librarians at the college I work at. Fortunately, we hired two good ones, in part due to the insights of the two students on the committee. But we had our fair share of the hard-wired bitter, know-it-all liberal womyn. In fact a good number of them were SJW types.
Minor missed opportunity; Melania should have closed by stating the librarian should not imitate the Grinch.
LOL!!
Not one dime of federal taxpayer money, directly or indirectly, to that library ever again.
Great to hear ...!
You wouldn't happen to have a link that talks about that, would you?
No name mentioned or town mentioned or school mentioned.
Just hide behind anonymity and throw bombs without repercussions.
No you haven't, not by a long shot. These mentally unbalance morons are legion and becoming more unhinged by the day. Stay tuned, there's many more to come.
I hope someone sends a set of Rush Revere books to this school.
This is so funny.

Sickos.
They can only feel good about themselves by flaunting their "their self-imposed superiority" over the rest of us.
There are two kinds of librarians: evil and sexy.
There is no middle ground.
There are no negroes in Slovenia
She must be a racist
Plus one
So refreshing to find we’ve a First Lady who stands for her virtues, as would any American Citizen. Stating her case with grace, dignity and genuine intention she is attempting to help those who need.
