A screen-shot of former Chinese leader Mao Zedong's quote on a U.S. Department of Education website "Kids Zone." |
"Our attitude towards ourselves should be 'to be satiable in learning' and towards others 'to be tireless in teaching," the quote reportedly read.
The quote appeared on the webpage's "Quote of the Day" section and was reportedly removed and replaced by an Abraham Lincoln quote after screenshots of the webpage take off on social media.
The "Quote of the Day" section vanished from the website later in the day, according to NYDailyNews.com.
