WASHINGTON – Never mind the millions of people killed under Mao’s regime. He’s so inspirational, the U.S. government must provide him as the quote of the day on a website geared towards children!

The Kids’ Zone page of the National Center for Educational Statistics featured a Mao quote last week.

Via New York Daily News:

A U.S. government website geared toward children under the umbrella of the Department of Education yanked a quote from Communist leader Mao Zedong off its page on Friday after it went viral on social media.

“Our attitude towards ourselves should be ‘to be satiable in learning’ and towards others ‘to be tireless in teaching,’” read what appeared to be a somewhat mangled Mao quote on the “Kids’ Zone” webpage of the National Center for Education Statistics. …

Shortly thereafter, the quote vanished on the “Kids’ Zone” website and was replaced by an apology: “Sorry there is no quote of the day.” …

Then, a quote by Abraham Lincoln appeared in its place.

Finally, the “Quote of the Day” feature vanished entirely.

One would think the U.S. government would show the evilness of Mao Zedong and his reign. Instead, it offers him as inspirational quotes of the day to children.
