Extract: EVERYTHING is racist now. Even the Cat in the Hat.
A school librarian in the US has rejected a gift of Dr Seuss books from Melania Trump intended to mark National Read a Book Day, describing the beloved series as "steeped in racist propaganda".
Liz Phipps Soeiro, who teaches at the Cambridgeport Elementary School in Cambridge, Massachusetts and describes herself as "an advocate for inclusive libraries", instead penned an open letter to the First Lady criticising the Trump administration's education policies.
Ms Soeiro said her school didn't need the books, and questioned why the White House didn't offer the gift to underprivileged communities.
Ms Soeiro said even in her relatively wealthy school, "we still struggle to close the achievement gap, retain teachers of colour, and dismantle the systemic white supremacy in our institution".
she said, there was "the matter of the books themselves". "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," Ms Soeiro wrote.
"Another fact that many people are unaware of is that Dr. Seuss's illustrations are steeped in racist propaganda, caricatures, and harmful stereotypes. Open one of his books (If I Ran a Zoo or And to Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street, for example), and you'll see the racist mockery in his art."
Ms Soeiro referred to a journal article titled "Is the Cat in the Hat Racist? Read Across America Shifts Away from Dr. Seuss and Toward Diverse Books" highlighting the "minstrel characteristics and trope nature of Seuss's characters".
She added that the new book Was the Cat in the Hat Black? The Hidden Racism of Children's Literature "further explores and shines a spotlight on the systemic racism and oppression in education and literature".

You mean to tell me that DR Seuss wasn't parodying what he saw on science fiction movies? In fact he drew black people?

That Chink nigger abomination saw a picture of her vermin in the book, I guess there was some kind of human bee hive for it to live on Mulbury street?
