First Lady Melania Trump wanted to donate ten books by Dr. Seuss to a Massachusetts library. The librarian would not accept them on the grounds that the much-beloved children's author was a racist and his books contained racist images.
Stunned to read this, especially since I raised my son on Dr. Seuss and today Zack is the most color-blind, least racist, most all-inclusive, loving everyone, kumbaya kind of a guy you will ever meet, I did some research and learned that a mural in Massachusetts is being removed from the Seuss Museum in the author's hometown of Springfield because it shows a "jarring racial stereotype of a Chinese man in a pointed hat with slanted, slit eyes, holding chopsticks." Imagine -- a Chinese person with slanted eyes! And using chopsticks!
Good thing Dr. Seuss is already dead or he might be attacked by a mob of angry, non-gun toting, bleeding heart liberals with no brains, the commonest kind.
