access to education

The FLOTUS has been taking hits for the fat food menu served at the White House Super Bowl Party, because she lectures us on our eating habits and the size of our fat behinds. They have a point, up to a point. (People don’t like to be repeatedly told they’re fat, unhealthy, and headed for a heart attack— even if it’s true.)

Maybe our FLOTUS should add something new to her plate, and I’m not talking food. Maybe it’s time for her to seize a headline issue that could use the talents of a Harvard graduate with a law degree. As a Chicago native, she already knows something about the issue of failing schools and the students who fall through the cracks because of them. Michelle Obama strikes me as a woman, who is both tough enough and smart enough to change things for parents like Ohio mother of two, Kelley Williams-Bolar.
