Jen Psaki Blames Department of Education for Canceling Dr. Suess in Biden Signed Statement

Charlie Spiering 2 Mar 2021

White House press secretary Jen Psaki blamed the Department of Education for not including any mention of Dr. Suess in President Joe Biden’s signed statement recognizing Read Across America Day.

“The proclamation was written by the Department of Education and you could certainly speak to them about more specifics about the drafting of it,” she said, when asked about the omission of any reference to Dr. Suess in the annual statement.

Biden’s signed statement for Read Across America Day did not make any mention of Dr. Suess, even though it is an annual celebration of reading in honor of his birthday, March 2nd.

Psaki said the day “elevates and celebrates” reading, but also celebrated diversity.

“The day is also a chance to celebrate diverse authors, whose work and lived experience reflect the diversity of our country,” she said, and added, “It is especially important that we ensure all children can see themselves represented and celebrated in the books that they read.”

Psaki referred any further questions about the drafting of the statement signed by the president to the Department of Education, even though it was signed by the president.

Previous Presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama both issued statements honoring Dr. Suess’ slegacy of literacy for children.

Lieden never read The Cat in the Hat or Horton Hears a Who or Green Eggs and Ham or How the Grinch Stole Christmas or ... to his kids or grandkids? I don't think this hypovehiculation of the Education Department is credible.
