Ogburn ‘absolutely embarrassed and mortified’ about shared Facebook post
Henrico School Board member Micky Ogburn expressed embarrassment and remorse Monday about sharing an offensive Facebook post about Dr. Seuss books Friday night.
In an interview with the Citizen, Ogburn said that she shared the post (which had come up on her Facebook timeline) to her personal page quickly and without reading most of it or seeing an attached offensive photo because it made her think about her young granddaughter, to whom she and her husband had spent hours reading Dr. Seuss books during the Christmas holiday.
