Mrs. Obama, What About Our Boys?
As Michelle Obama touched down in Denver today to promote her efforts to connect America’s public school students with professional mentors, she declined to send an invitation to one population who could most benefit: our city’s neglected boys.
The First Lady’s packed schedule started with a closed “girls mentoring luncheon” at the Governor’s Mansion on Logan Street. Next, she’ll gather with other state and national figures in meeting with female students from area schools. The high profile list of mentors included actresses Susan Sarandon and Fran Drescher. Also taking part are beltway heavy hitters, including Labor secretary Hilda Solis, Health and Human Services secretary Kathleen Sebelius, and Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lisa Jackson.
