Move over, stilettos. There’s a new reason to hate Melania Trump, and it’s a doozy:

Good. Lord. More from The Hill:
A Cambridge, Mass., elementary school librarian said in a blog post this her school will not be keeping a collection of books from Melania Trump, though the school later denied her rejection of the gift.
…
“Why not go out of your way to gift books to underfunded and underprivileged communities that continue to be marginalized and maligned by policies put in place by Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos?” she wrote.
According to CBS Boston, Cambridge Public Schools said in a statement that [Liz] Phipps Soeiro “was not authorized to accept or reject donated books on behalf of the school or school district” and counseled her on a policy against using public resources for political purposes.
Guess Phipps Soeiro, who also boasted of her “graduate degree in library science,” wasn’t smart enough to check her politics at the door. Which is too bad for her, because now everyone knows what a petulant, petty little person she is.
The books were Dr. Seuss books.
The librarian is a petty bitch. https://t.co/xs35YsvNQ0

Politics before kids education. Great job.

Noooo. This isn't an issue of politics… Sad… You take the books like you'd take any gift. Graciously. Find an appropriate home.

How rude of this librarian. Her priorities seem way off, esp. for a *librarian.*
Just say "Thank you" – and let the kids read.

This isn’t difficult, Liz. At least it shouldn’t be.
