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 Youll Go!"

‘Fighting Melania’ Ping! :)
Green Eggs Matter
Seuss was a major leftie! My mother refused to buy his books and I had to sneak into the children’s library to read them. Like most, I absolutely loved them.
Librarians are evil.
I'm sure the librarian didn't expect Melania to say anything....especially addressing the intent of the "keep your damn books" you white supremist.
Thank you Melania.
By the way, the librarian has been chastised by the library heads.
I love our First Couple. I love our wonderful FLOTUS. Her diplomacy matches her beauty.
“Green Eggs and Ham” is obviously a racist dog whistle against brown eggs.
Haters are going to hate, and “our” public schools are full of haters nowadays.
The librarian is a walking cliché example of a hard-wired, bitter, know-it-all liberal womyn.
I wish Melania would give this b!tch a good, old-fashioned Eastern European smackdown.
It would do all of us good.
The insanity brought on by the mental disease of liberalism is beyond words.
Every single day another classic example of it raises its ugly head in the media.
The so-called “librarian” made the decision to reject the books all on her own. She should be terminated immediately, but won’t be because of “protected status” which in itself needs to end. Not only is it racist, they’ve proven themselves undeserving of it.
If Hillary or Bill had donated them, would the books still be consider racist??
To First Lady Melania's List.
They still don't get it do they?
Because it’s fashionable to display psycho behaviour against all things Trump and this nice response can we expect all socialist/activist/Democrat (redundancy I know) librarians to take their ‘knee’ and not accept these gracious gifts?
Red fish, blue fish. That's diversity.
Librarians are evil.
Seuss, racist? How? Is the lorax alt right?
It is pre-holocaust style insanity!
No one is immune from the people who see racism everywhere.
I read somewhere that the evolutionist Francis Crick has racism in his background and Antifa is on his case.
