Melania Trump's Back-To-School Question For Students Sparks Backlash

Students – as you head #BacktoSchool, think about what you wish to accomplish this year. You have so much power in your individual voices. Will you strive to #BeBest?

— Melania Trump (@FLOTUS) September 4, 2018

This year I want to see the president removed from office!

Good thought, now ask yourself the same question. What do you want to accomplish and how will you claim your power and claim your voice? Will you strive to use your position to rise up and support this country or will you continue to hide in the shadows? Time will tell

I don’t really care do you?

How about having your husband be a good example instead of how to be a bully to children!

They probably will spend their entire time at school avoiding flying bullets and trying not to get murdered in the next school shooting

Very good!! I hope the student listen to you. PLEASE ask the same of your HUSBAND!!!

As my kid heads #BacktoSchool , @FLOTUS , I would just like her to not get shot. Or for me to have to worry about that. #BeBest

Not to get shot?

You are as much of a joke as your husband by sticking with this BeBest campaign. The idea is great, and I WANT to believe you are better than him...but I just can't. It just seems so disingenuous.

School started weeks ago for most. And can you please start with your husband about being best?

— Katie wunder (@Marykatewunder) September 4, 2018

Can someone PLEASE change this slogan. The grammar is terrible. #BeBest 🤔

Good luck to all students!
Seniors, use your voice, VOTE (18yr olds). Change the ugliness of the current administration.
