Positive news story destroyed by negative spin

[10X 3,296]

So a link shows up in my Inbox today, with this headline:  This seven-year-old was the sole student at her school to take part in a national US walkout

It recounts the story of the brave girl who was the only person in her entire school to walk out in protest Friday.   She spoke of how very alone she felt, and how she couldn't understand why no one else was with her.    That is, apart from a photographer, and someone live tweeting the event, but they weren't mentioned in the narrative, only what a brave little activist she is.    

OK, maybe she believed in the walkout, and if so, kudos to her for speaking her mind by voting with her feet.

But, shouldn't the headline have read:  "Students at DC school overwhelmingly reject National School Walkout"?   It says a lot that there was no mention of the 99.9%+ who didn't support the walkout.

A seven year old cannot possibly understand the issues at work here. Her parents have used her as a tool for their own political agenda.  Bad parenting, there ought to be a law, why not, they want a law for everything else.

Am I reading and looking at it wrong, 7 years old. how was she allowed to walk out alone with no supervision. She looks alone in the photo with no one near by.

Nobody is judging the 7yo.

I am 100% judging the woke of her mother that put the kid up to this for 5 minutes of instagram/twiter fame. That's for the mother's fame, just to clarify.

It's sad when parents get the kids to fight their battles by proxy.

Come on Zeke, read the twiter link and tell you don't see what's going on here.
