1. Consider the following points made in the video above:

• Michelle Obama (wife of Democratic President Barack Obama) would not have been criticized like this.
• The fashion editor is putting politics (hatred of President Trump) before fashion.
• Melania is one of only 5 first ladies. She has been subjected to cruel treatment by the media. The other first ladies should stand up for her - show solidarity for their fellow first lady.
• The media is clearly going after Melania because they hate Donald Trump.
• How can the fashion world not put this woman on the cover when she was an international model and she clearly has this iconic style?
• I don’t know anyone who saw the picture of her and said “wow that looks ridiculous”

Do you think Campos-Duffy's points about the criticism are correct? Explain your answer.

2. One reader wrote in Mrs. Trump's defense: "She looks good. Her outfit is very elegant. She is in a video showing Christmas decorations. She was a fashion model and wears designer clothes. Her outfit goes along with the decor." What do you think of this assertion?

3. Do you think the media displays a double-standard in reporting on first ladies? Ask a parent the same question.

CHALLENGE: Pay attention to news reports about Melania Trump. Is it mostly positive, negative, or neutral?
