First lady Melania Trump suggested that she wouldn’t be deterred by the negative reaction she got from Baltimore-area students as she spoke about the youth opioid epidemic on Tuesday.

“We live in a democracy and everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the fact is we have a serious crisis in our country, and I remain committed to educating children on the dangers and deadly consequences of drug abuse,” Trump said in a statement later on Tuesday.
