Well here again FoxNews/Tucker Carlson has misrepresented an American. This time a librarian in Cambridge MA.
Here is her (Liz Phipps Soeiro) letter thanking Melanie Trump for the gift but saying no thanks for two reasons:
(1) they are a rich school district and it would be better if her gifts went to more needy school districts
(2) she believed the Dr Seuss books has racial undertones and offered this defense (by Grace Hwang Lynch) of that view.
I have not read that defense (or comments to that defense) yet, so I will withhold judgement on whether or not Dr. Seuss should be a “new conservative to hate”. The books are good as I remember reading them to the kids 30 years ago and I did not detect any racial undertones but I wasn’t looking for them. So my going-in bias is that Dr. Seuss is just fine and the librarian is wrong (perhaps just protesting anything from a Trump).
As for the 2015 picture (if that is actually of Ms Soeiro), that is well before Ms. Lynch’s article (dated Sept 12, 2017 and cited by Ms. Soeiro on Sept 26, 2017) discussing the racial overtones in the Dr. Seuss books.
But I will say Tucker Carlson's sarcastic verse (while entertaining and given flawlessly) without giving Ms Soeiro’s view/letter a fair hearing is media malpractice (all too typical in the RW media).
Interesting that this caring librarian wanted to keep such a book with racial undertones out of her library but is willing to send such things she deems junk to libraries less fortunate than hers.
Sounds like she wants to give the underprivileged Racist leaning and racist filled books.
Also interesting that she is willing to dress up and present herself as a racist character.
Interesting too, is your support for such a nice lady.

BTW, that's a fake picture.

You'd think that the trumphaters would pass on some of this stuff. It's not as if the president doesn't provide sufficient things worthy of legitimate criticism.
