Cynopsis: Kids!

03/10/11

Good morning. It’s Thursday, March 10, 2011, and this is your first early morning Kids briefing.

Ahead of the White House Conference on Bullying Prevention, which will be held today at the White House, President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama took to the internet yesterday with an anti bullying video message.  The President and first lady were featured in a video on the Facebook StopBullying.gov ( www.facebook.com/stopbullying.gov ) site explaining that bullying is unacceptable and that each of us has a responsibility to help stop bullying and to ensure that our kids treat each other with respect.  In the video the President explains, “For a long time, bullying was treated as an unavoidable part of growing up. But more and more, we’re seeing how harmful it can be for our kids, especially when it follows them from their school to their phone to their computer screen.”  While some kids, parents, teachers, and coaches will be at the White House for the event, all are invited to watch the White House Conference on Bullying Prevention today beginning at 10:30a at facebook.com/stopbullying.gov
