National prize Chris Brown has been asked to read to children at a Harlem charter school. The controversial singer, who is trying to rehabilitate his image, was invited to attend and participate in the annual "Family Read Night" at Sisulu-Walker Charter School on Nov. 18. Despite his past troubles, some seem ready to forgive and forget; one parent at the school told the Daily News, "He's coming to read to the children. He apologized on TV. Sometimes in real life we make mistakes." And sometimes we do this in real life, then ask a convicted 20-year old clown to be a role model to our kids!
