Melania Trump's back-to-school question for students sparks backlash
Melania Trump was widely mocked on Twitter Tuesday after she asked students to “think about what you wish to accomplish this year” on their return to school.
“You have so much power in your individual voices. Will you strive to #BeBest?” wrote the first lady, referencing her “Be Best” campaign that aims to improve the lives of children.
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?

Her question did not go over well, as hundreds of tweeters suggested the main thing they wanted to accomplish this year was the removal of her husband, President Donald Trump, from office.
This year I want to see the president removed from office!

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

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