How does a public awareness campaign to "be best" help "teach kindness to children"?

The slogan seems at odds with the stated goals.

She also launched a public awareness campaign called "Be Best" to help teach kindness to children as the president sat in the audience in the Rose Garden.

It's very simple English. Really basic words. Easy to spell. Easy to read.

The only words that would be easier would be "be good."

But, well . . . .

We all try to do our best, don't we?

And besides, bullying is the Republican way, isn't it?

I'm sure Michelle Obama must have said that somewhere for Melania to lift

It would fit with her anti-bullying goals and be grammatically correct.
