In Massachusetts elected school Cambridgeport School. Librarian Liz Phipps, Soeiro wrote a letter to Melania trump and published it on the website, The Horn Book, noting that their school is well funded and not in need of books.

«School libraries are closing across the country. Cities such as Philadelphia, Chicago and Detroit suffer from the privatization and consolidation of schools, not interested in the views of children, their families and teachers. These children deserve less books? Why don’t you give books to them? And Minister DeVos would be good to help, and to bring schools, not close them and cut budgets», — stated in the letter from the librarian.

Also Liz Phipps, Soeiro added: «You may not know but Dr. seuss is the author of legacy of children’s literature. You have the opportunity to consult with a phenomenal expert on children’s books – Dr. Carla Hayden, the current librarian of Congress.

I have no doubt that Dr. Hayden would have given you wonderful advice. Another fact that many people don’t know is that the illustrations of Dr. seuss impregnated with racist propaganda and stereotypes.»
