“Freckleface Strawberry’ is a semi-autobiographical story about a seven year old girl who dislikes her freckles but eventually learns to live with them when she realizes that she is different ‘just like everybody else.”
Julianne Moore
I have just ordered a children’s book. For people like me who have grown up with freckles, Julianne Moore’s “Freckface Strawberry” will be refreshing.
However, the leader of the “uneducated party” has decided that the book will be removed from all Department of Defense libraries. They love to ban books. I just wish that these people would read instead of preventing children from doing so.
Moore was shocked that her 2007 bestseller would be considered controversial. She said that the story reflects somewhat a little about her life, as she mentioned in the quote above.
She goes on,
“It is a book I wrote for my children and for other kids to remind them that we all struggle, but are united by our humanity and our community.”

We have to support all children, particularly those who struggle. No longer in the USA.
Father was Vietnam Veteran
What makes this more outrageous is that Moore’s father was a veteran and that she graduated from a Department of Defense high school in Frankfurt, Germany.
“I grew up with a father who is a Vietnam veteran and spent his career in the #USArmy. I could not be prouder of him and his service to our country.”

Destroying the first amendment
Why is this book being removed? Because the ideology police are taking away first amendment rights in the United States of America. I was once proud of America.
No longer.
I once thought that the Bill of Rights was the bedrock of individual rights that made the U.S. special.
No longer.
These new decrees of the Trump Administration were handed down through the U.S. Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA), which announced on February 7 that it would remove and review “books potentially related to gender ideology or discriminatory equity ideology topics” in DoD schools, and also work to end programs, activities, and holidays related to those topics. As per the military publication Stars and Stripes, many schools began enacting these policies immediately, with Wiesbaden Elementary School in Germany even going as far as removing a portrait of Michelle Obama painted on glass in honor of Black History Month.

All of this from a convicted felon who speaks on a fourth-grade level.
America, what has happened to thee?
Which is one reason that I am happy to be leaving America for Ireland later this year.
