To celebrate “National Read a Book Day,” First Lady Melania Trump sent a collection of 10 Dr. Seuss books to one school in each state across the nation. Liz Phipps Soeiro, a librarian at the public school in Cambridge, MA, that received the gift wrote a huffy “thanks, but no thanks” letter that sneered at both the fact of the gift and its contents.
- “My students have access to a school library with over nine thousand volumes and a librarian with a graduate degree in library science.”
- “Dr. Seuss’s illustrations are steeped in racist propaganda, caricatures, and harmful stereotypes.”
- Soeiro was soundly and justifiably mocked on Twitter. My personal fave: “Cripes, lady. Come down off the cross. We can use the wood.”
- Soeiro also received a slap on the wrist from her employers who said she was not authorized to reject the gift and had no business using it to push her personal political agenda.
If Michelle Obama had donated books celebrating gay parenting and a Christian librarian had responded the way Soeiro did, Prog activists would have demanded she be fired immediately and blackballed from working at any library ever again.

Texas Supreme Court Justice Don Willett:
“I work in a district that has plenty of resources, which contributes directly to ‘excellence,'” Soeiro wrote. “Cambridge, Massachusetts, is an amazing city with robust social programming, a responsive city government, free all-day kindergarten, and well-paid teachers (relatively speaking — many of us can’t afford to live in the city in which we teach). Soeiro added that the first lady should be donating books to school libraries in cities like Detroit, Philadelphia, and Chicago, because their libraries are being “shuttered” by policies put in place by Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.
