School District Declines to Remove Michelle Obama Biography After Parent Complaint
A Texas school district reportedly says it won't remove a biography about Michelle Obama following a complaint from a parent who said they felt the book about unfairly portrays former President Donald Trump as a bully.
The book — titled Michelle Obama: Political Icon by Heather E. Schwartz — is among at least 86 that Texas parents have recently attempted to have banned, according to a list compiled by NBC News.
NBC News reports that 86 formal requests were filed to remove books from school libraries last year. The list of books includes the Obama biography, which the parent also said makes it seem that "if you sound like a white girl you should be ashamed of yourself."
In a statement provided to PEOPLE, Schwartz said she was "shocked that anyone would want to ban" her book, which was written for children.

that someone is upset about a book portraying TFG as a bully? 
That just kills me, because the guy IS a bully. He's a loud, mean, rude bully who loves to pick on people he regards as inferior to him. If he seems that way in this book, it just means that the book is portraying him accurately. 
The funny thing is, a lot of his base seems to love that aspect of him. This parent is evidently an outlier who prefers to think of him as a gentle, cuddly teddy bear who never said or did a single rude thing ever, which is too bad for them, because they're not going to find many books that portray him that way!
