Michelle Obama: 'If It’s Good Enough for Our Kids, It’s Good Enough for All of Our Kids' "We have hosted youth workshops on everything from modern dance to classical music to spoken word poetry." NOV 19, 2012 • BY DANIEL HALPER
At an event at the White House for the National Arts and Humanities Youth Program awards program, First Lady Michelle Obama praised arts in children's education by saying, "if it’s good enough for our kids, it’s good enough for all of our kids."
"[It is so critical that we preserve arts education in our schools," said the first lady. "It is absolutely critical because we know how important it is for our children’s development. We all know. Every one of us who are here in this room will do whatever it takes to make sure that our own kids get access to sports and music and arts and recreation. So if it’s good enough for our kids, it’s good enough for all of our kids, right?"
For that reason, Obama said, she's helped promote in children's education from the White House.
"And that’s one of the reasons why we’ve worked so very hard, and it’s been a labor of love to make sure that the White House is a showcase for America’s rich cultural life. And we’ve worked to open our doors as often as possible to as many young people as we possibly can. We have hosted youth workshops on everything from modern dance to classical music to spoken word poetry and so much more. And we’re looking for another four years to do even more," said Obama.

Who needs to bother with teaching history and the Constitution. According to the Obamas, when they took power in late 2008, they said that history has to change.
That is the issue with you Moochie.
You presume to know how I should raise my kids.
You presume to know how I should live mylife.
Mrs. Obama, I want yoo to know that I am not proud of you, and I never will be.
Nope. Not buying it. My kids are better, my kids deserve better.
Moochelle, you mean like all-expense paid spring break vacays in Spain and those little get-aways with just you and the girls? Yeah baby, for ALL our chilrun!
Michelle Obama thinks that art is important for children’s education.
Okay. Got it.
Why is this news exactly?
What about that EXPENSIVE PRIVATE SCHOOL you send your kids to?
And don’t forget basketball............
Yeah, but first you KILL all the CHARTER schools for underprivileged black children in DC....like your imbecile of a husband did.
Just wow.
And to think that we’re just watching this happen.
I guess the First Lady has it all figured out.
Too bad the luxury of figuring things out for ourselves is being taken away by these know-it-alls.
Here is the absolute:
A personal relationship with Jesus Christ is good for MY kids... it is good for ALL kids.
