Traditionally, after inauguration the First Lady becomes the head of the Girl Scouts of America. A purely ceremonial role that involves a few photo shoots and speeches.
But since this is the Trump family we’re talking about, the transfer of Girl Scouts power has become contentious. A change.org petition was made by a former Girl Scouts member to keep Melania out of the organization.
Most of the petition, however, is a bit sexist, focusing on Melania’s modeling career and the fact she has posed nude in the past.
From the petition:
Melania Trump’s actions and behaviors are the complete opposite of Girl Scout values: She supports objectifying women by posing in the nude for GQ and Max Magazines. She promotes sex and violence against women by posing in the nude wearing handcuffs and by posing next to the Trump jet while clad in a g-string and brandishing a hand gun. Melania Trump promotes lying by saying on several occasions that she earned a college degree, when in truth she dropped out of college in her freshman year. She promotes plagiarism by giving national campaign speeches for her husband that were essentially verbatim past speeches of famous women, but claimed they were her own words.
The petition already has about 3,300 signatures after about a day of being online. Once it hits 5,000 it will be delivered to the Girl Scouts CEO Sylvia Acevedo.
