Michelle Obama's Walking School Bus

[quote]During her remarks to a group of mayors at the White House last week, Obama promoted the concept of a “walking school bus” — a group of children who walk to school together with adults. “I’ve heard more and more of this kind of walking school bus happening all over the country — so that kids can get exercise on the way to school, kind of like we did when we were growing up,” Obama said. She added that a program like the “walking school bus,” which is run in cooperation with the Department of Transportation, the Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center and the Partnership for a Walkable America, is exactly what “Let’s Move!” is about. “It’s about people all across this country coming together to take action to support the health of our kids,” she said.. “We’ve seen it happen in cities, towns and rural areas across the United States.” Obama singled out schools in Knox County, Tenn., for helping come up with the idea of the “walking school bus.” According to the program’s website, it has also spread to North Carolina and Vermont.[/quote] WHAT WILL SHE WASTE TAXPAYER MONEY ON NEXT?!

  • You can thank lolberals for pathetic school lunches. $2.10 for a chocolate milk, apple, and PBJ uncrustable. I remember $1.00 getting me milk, two sides, a huge slice of Pizza Hut pizza, and fruit and that was under Bush.

    • What if a bunch of kids make it a game to run off? Does the adults abandon the group and go after them or do they call them in?

      • Not a bad idea. I use to walk to school everyday when I was middle school. I'm for this if 1.The distances aren't too long. 2.This is only for younger children
