I should have written yesterday about the elementary school librarian who rejected a gift of ten books for the school from the First Lady on the grounds that the selected works were "racist". That's right, the librarian of this school thought that Dr. Seuss books are racist. I'm not making this up; it's real.
I think I've read essentially all of Dr. Seuss' works. Even by the distorted standards of today's left, no sane person could call these books racist. No, the books are not racist. What is happening is that the librarian is trying to virtue signal by rejecting books that come from the dreaded Trump family. She is showing that she will refuse to accept books that the students in her school might read and enjoy because she's better than helping the kids if the help comes from Melania Trump.
The truth is that in a sane world, the librarian would be fired. Sadly, however, our world is not totally sane.
