Just because she mentions that in her letter doesn't mean that she'll ban Dr. Seuss books from her school, nor does it mean that she'll go against her district's curriculum, which most likely does a Dr. Seuss day on the date of his birthday. Assume much?

Just about every school & district across the country does this now, as a part of "Read Across America," so I would assume this is where the picture came from. Nice try, and very mature name-calling, though.

Yes, she could have dressed up as a thousand characters and picked a "racist" authors character? Let's be honest--she has no problem with Dr Seuss books. The reason the books were rejected was because they came from the Trump administration. Why is that so hard to admit?

What's to admit? I'm not arguing that point. She flat-out said her school didn't need it, but other schools that the Department of Education & DeVos (Trump's pick) has cut funding to, would.

So yes, she rejected it because it came from an administration that is seemingly intent on making public education in this country even worse than it already is. It's a form of peaceful protest.

Again, the racial comment re: Dr. Seuss isn't the focus of her letter, it's more of an aside. Would it have come across better without it? Maybe, but more than likely not; the people who have a problem with it now would still have a problem.
