unbelievable---although in retrospect, maybe not.

~a half dozen comrades and not ONE of you offered to deal with the content of the post but instead, tried to play cutesy with sarcasm.

The very best "debate" leftists ever have to offer, is usually a derail or something else off topic like an insult etc

Thread after thread

They are that librarian

I attribute it to their smug pompous ass feelings of superiority, and a glaring character flaw that manifests itself in being snide.

Is there some Tempest in a Teapot Channel that's gone right-wing that Bosco and his faithful sidekick bounty are glued to?

Well, they finally accomplished it.

Between the relentless trolling and the proliferation of socks shitting all over, the quality here has fallen so low it's no longer worth reading.

I guess in the end they'll talk to each other. Mainly about nothing.

Maybe they'll figure out that incessant jabbing doesn't talk belief and wishes into reality. Probably not.

People can be strange.

More from the article:

Twitter sleuths took little time finding Cambridge Public Schools Librarian Liz Phipps Soiero's feed and digging into old posts after she raised eyebrows this week with her public rejection of an honorary gift from the White House of 10 embossed Dr. Seuss books.

Several of the pictures uncovered and reposted by users show Soiero at the school in question -- Cambridgeport Elementary School in Cambridge -- wearing the character's signature red-and-white hat and matching stockings, cradling a Cat in the Hat doll.

By way of explanation, Soiero penned a widely panned open letter to First Lady Melania Trump, which she in part described Seuss's most famed creation as having roots in the days of "blackface minstrelsy," citing a few academic articles on the topic.

The letter was addressed to Trump because the First Lady had sent these book bundles to several dozen schools having "achieved high standards of excellence" to commemorate National Read a Book Day, Sept. 6.


"You may not be aware of this, but Dr. Seuss is a bit of a cliche, a tired and worn ambassador for children's literature," Soiero wrote in her letter, which first expressed gratitude, then criticized the First Lady's taste in children's literature and said the district neither needed nor planned to keep the books.

Is Dr. Seuss racist, cliched? Mass. librarian says so

The Cambridgeport librarian of an elementary school chosen to be honored by the White House rejected the corollary prize: a donation of 10 Dr. Seuss books from First Lady Melania Trump.

Melania Trump's communication team responded to Soiero on Thursday, expressing regret about her willingness to turn "the gesture of sending young school children books into something divisive."

setting aside yet another glaring example of your inability to discern, there's still this that should be relatively straight forward enough for you:

For the First Lady, this is fluff, but probably some of the most important fluff she can do without having to take a stand on anything, in promoting literacy. Dr Seuss has been a standard for children's reading for generations now, and there is no consensus for that to change.

There might not be a consensus for change, but that doesn't stop people with an axe to grind complaining about stuff they see as unacceptable not belonging in schools or libraries: nigger Jim or Harry Potter ring any bells? I think the religious right (unbelievably) went through a phase of insisting that Tolkein was a gateway to satanism and the occult back in the '70s. (That said, it's not much more implausible as a claim for Tolkein than it as a claim for Stephen King...)
