Che Guevara children's book on display at a local Miami bookstore for Hispanic Heritage Month

Former Republican Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen spotted this awful children’s book on Che Guevara at a local Miami bookstore while looking to pick up a few titles to read to her grandson’s kindergarten class:

Mañana, I’m honored to read a book for #HispanicHeritageMonth to my 3 year old grandson’s class but this is the selection of outstanding Hispanics at my local ⁦@BooksandBooks⁩:

Che Guevara
Frida
Cesar Chavez
Sonia Sotomayor

Apparently, there are no conservative Hispanics pic.twitter.com/7WBcvzMhcq

He just wanted to help people!

This kid’s book, Who Was Che Guevara, is a gem of propaganda:

Che joined Castro so he could “start helping people fight for their rights.”

Fidel Castro “defended the poor of his country”.

I think I just threw up a little bit.

Don’t think I have found the book I want yet… pic.twitter.com/swmUjYm5xH

They seem to have left this part out:

Say it with me, children: Che was a homophobic racist butcher https://t.co/rfN0ycZVmx

What’s nice to read is that she wants to keep this apolitical, as it should be:

Ha, @MarcACaputo, but I’m just looking for a sweet kids book celebrating #HispanicHeritageMonth.

I’m not trying to make a political statement.

Dustin is only 3 years old.

The book selection is way leftist.

I prefer to buy at independent book stores but goodness gracious… https://t.co/5d2UkU6uaZ

Okee dokee, here are my selections for Dustin’s class.

* Coco
* They Did What: 50 Unbelievable Women (I will kinda read the chapter on Celia Cruz)

All good.

Lista para mañana y los niños de tres añitos.

And I will pick up ⁦@pinecrestbakery⁩ croquetas!

Que mañanita! pic.twitter.com/5ED09iaZwo

And we will go out on a limb and say the croquetas will be the big hit of the day.
