The FLOTUS appears to be a decent, kind person. And until she shows otherwise, please Liberal lefties, get off of her back.

But she's not crazy. She is very typical of a certain SJW mentality among younger librarians, especially children's librarians. They HATE people like me. She has a well read blog and has been pushing her agenda for awhile. She's not dumb and knew this would make a name for her. I do think she underestimated the insane political climate.
