Oct. 23 (UPI) -- First lady Melania Trump made a surprise visit to a middle school in Detroit Monday morning to kick off the White House's "Week of Inclusion."
Trump was accompanied on the visit to Orchard Lake Middle School in West Bloomfield by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, as part of the first lady's anti-bullying initiative.
The first lady and DeVos spent time Monday in the school's Viking Huddle Class -- a 6th grade classroom that focuses on social and emotional learning.
Trump was also set to visit 7th and 8th grade students in the cafeteria to promote "No One Eats Alone" -- an initiative to stem social isolation by asking students to be more inclusive of others at lunch time.
"As part of my ongoing commitment to the overall well-being of children, I am looking forward to today's visit," Trump said in a statement. "By our own example, we must teach children to be good stewards of the world they will inherit."
"We need to remember that they are always watching and listening. It is our responsibility to take the lead in teaching children the values of empathy and communication that are at the core of kindness, mindfulness, integrity, and leadership."

She’s wonderful and a great FLOTUS.
is that woman with the butch haircut in the background security? or just a cheesed off member of the NEA??
Awaiting the CSM (Cretin Stream Media) criticism of her dress/demeanor/car/airplane/education/extreme beauty in 3,2,1.....
She is the next Jackie O
It has to be a surprise visit in Detroit.
It would only take a few hours for the Soros groups to twitter together a rent-a-mob of meth heads.
Brilliant strategy...
Has MSNBC/CNN trashed her for this yet ?
This was all a cover for her recon mission to figure out the best spots for her husband to drop the napalm cannisters. (/liberal)
looks like a Dyke SS type
Not to downplay the visit but this is NOT a Detroit school.
PING!
West Bloomfield is a wealthy area, a place where folks move to when they get some money and can move away from the ghetto or move to when the ghetto comes to them.
I’m assuming she is security.
Viking Huddle Class? When I went to school, we studied Math, English, Ancient history, American history, Latin, French, and such. History was just beginning to be replaced by Social Studies.
The trip was planned over a week ago.......
FWIW, that ain't Detroit, West Bloomfield is a very high rent district north of Detroit.....
“looks like a Dyke SS type”
or a Trans.
Surprise Ping to First Lady Melania's List.
Just look at that, such warmth :)
Does my heart good.
I don’t recall Jackie doing much of that kind of outreach. Already, Melania is light years ahead of Jackie when it comes to class and “gravitas”.
First, it’s wonderful she’s done this. But how can a first lady just surprisingly show up without prior security being done?
