Librarian hates Dr Suess. At least when a Trump gifts him.

Another fact that many people are unaware of is that Dr. Seuss’s illustrations are steeped in racist propaganda, caricatures, and harmful stereotypes. Open one of his books (If I Ran a Zoo or And to Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street, for example), and you’ll see the racist mockery in his art. Grace Hwang Lynch’s School Library Journal article, “Is the Cat in the Hat Racist? Read Across America Shifts Away from Dr. Seuss and Toward Diverse Books,” reports on Katie Ishizuka’s work analyzing the minstrel characteristics and trope nature of Seuss’s characters. Scholar Philip Nel’s new book, Was the Cat in the Hat Black? The Hidden Racism of Children’s Literature, and the Need for Diverse Books, further explores and shines a spotlight on the systemic racism and oppression in education and literature.

It's no secret that President Obama is an avid reader. But, he just got even more cred with book-lovers by praising everybody's favorite children's author: yep, Obama loves Dr. Seuss. In a Q&A session with interns, Obama admitted that "pretty much all the stuff you need to know is in Dr. Seuss." And of course, he's spot on.

Obama won his way into the hearts of book nerds last year when he declared that reading novels made him a better citizen. (And considering he's the leader of the entire country, he's pretty much the best citizen there is.) Obama claims that reading teaches you vital skills of empathy — and that Dr. Seuss taught him that lesson particularly well. In this video recently released by the White House, Obama tells the listening interns that the Star-Belly Sneetches showed him "we're all the same, so why would we treat somebody differently?" And as if that wasn't a brilliant enough analogy, he then goes on to muse about the nature of responsibility that he learned from Horton Hatches the Egg.

It does seem super petty on the part of the librarian, but there are a lot of petty people in the world.

This is part of Loose's larger effort to portray anybody who is not a Republican as a demon and portray Republicans as angels.

Right... there are a lot of people that will find a way to push their agenda no matter the circumstances... like goose in this thread. What's his point?

I just can't imagine being as old as goose is and not realizing that. Kinda sad, actually. Hope he reads a book soon or something.

There's not a damned thing wrong with Dr. Suess until some puke Progressive wants to score points with the lemmings by insulting Trump. Then Dr. Suess is a racist. Notice a pattern there?

 This. It's dumb and petty of the librarian. Same time, republicans are trying to paint this as a big fucking deal.

Librarian is stupid. People obsessing about this is stupid. It's all just fucking stupid.

The Librarian acted stupidly because of obsessing about Trump. So she's fucking stupid, are the people here in the same boat?
