Melania Trump spoke to the National Parent Teacher Association at its annual Legislative Conference in Alexandria, Virginia on Tuesday, an opportunity for the organization to meet with policy makers on behalf of its 3.5 million members. Did the first lady have any asides to share regarding the coronavirus? Did she address school closures across the U.S., which reportedly comprise over 621 schools, affecting 434,472 students, at the time of publishing? Did she lend some words of support to how parents should handle having children home for an extended period of time? None of the above. Her prepared remarks hued faithfully to her Be Best talking points, and she hued faithfully to her prepared remarks.

“Today, I want to focus on one topic that is especially relevant for the parents and educators in this room: online safety,” she said to a room of about 300 teachers and administrators. “When used properly, the internet can be a tool for good. When not used properly, it can be destructive and dangerous.”

“No comments on coronavirus,” wrote Fox News’s Sarah Tobianski, Tuesday’s pool reporter, after the speech had wrapped. “She stuck to her prepared remarks and quickly exited.”

Her husband’s administration has struggled to maintain the narrative on coronavirus but we haven’t seen total silence yet.
