Michelle Obama tweets about girls' ability to go #BacktoSchool
The Hill ^ | 09/05/19 | Justine Coleman

Former first lady Michelle Obama encouraged her followers to remember during the back-to-school season that girls around the world have limited access to attend school.

Obama shared a photo from her school days as part of #WorldChairtyDay, while urging others to post #BackToSchool photos, support the Girls Opportunity Alliance and donate to its GoFundMe page.

"As students here in the U.S. head back to school, let's remember that more than 98 million adolescent girls around the world don't have that opportunity," she tweeted Thursday.

The Girls Opportunity Alliance is run by the Obama Foundation. They reported that out of 750 million illiterate adults in the world, two-thirds are women.

She's so brave for speaking out on this issue.

Seriously though, this is a legitimate issue.

The problem is it's in 'those countries' and an ongoing problem with 'those people' she can't risk naming, shaming, and offending.

So once again we get a vague trope about 'helping girls'.

These foundations and charities do nothing, they are useless, all they do is collect money and spend it on themselves.

They only exist to make people feel good about themselves.

Is she including the hundreds of girls abducted by Boko Haram under her husband’s tenure that they did nothing about other than the useless #BringBackOurGirls tweet?

“Obama shared a photo from her school days”

So Justine Coleman says.

Is she going to name and discuss the black controlled and Muslim nations who have only disdain for girl children?

I doubt it since black and Muslim countries are the ones in her belief system.

Care to explain? I don't understand that complaint.

What’s with this Obama foundation? Is it something like the Clinton foundation?

I am remiss in my duties, as I never made contributions to either the Clinton foundation or the Obama foundation.

I never even bought my carbon credits with Al Gore.

Yeah, and it used to be about a billion. The strides made in the last couple of decades have been huge, and they are primarily due to increasingly free market economies in developing countries. Just the sort of thing the Obamas would like to pull the plug on.

This isn't a problem in western nations.

It's found in Africa, India, Asia, and Muslim countries.

Hence she can't name the culprits.

She needs to name names and let the chips fall where they may, or she doesn’t have the balls I think she does.

Ah, okay, got it... She can’t talk about “why” girls don’t attend schools in those places because then she’ll have to talk about religion and culture.

Yes but given that this is run by the Obama Foundation, I suspect that the motive for gaining access to a large number of young girls doesn’t match the marketing copy claims.

Knowing the nature of the Obamas, I can only presume that they’re now operating a child sex trafficking operation to replace the one they lost when Epstein got put away.

That’s nothing, millions of girls do that.

Tweet about their ability to eat one of Michelle’s lunches. Now THAT would be something!!!
