Positive news story destroyed by negative spin

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.

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.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      By raz-0 · Posted

      In 50 years of living in NJ I've never experienced any attempt to inspect the interior of the home, and only one definite inspection of the exterior for an announced reassessment of all properties and that was a drive by. About 9 years of that was living in an apartment, but still, uncommon. Every place I lived had either a finished attic, basement, or both. But they were also included in the habitable square footage on the taxes when we got there.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      By Tunaman · Posted

      27.00 and change in tolls to drive down the shore from Rutherford,  47.00 in tolls to go out to Long island to visit dying relatives. Now I read they are going to raise the fees in the DMV. Murphy lied just to get elected when he said that seniors will get a significant tax break with his StayNJ" program to stop us from leaving.   Keep voting for democrats...this is what you get.  Tax and spend is all they know.  Never cut anything.  This state sucks.

      I get the added benefit that since I have a TSP rather than a true 401(k) they tax my retirement too. Yaaaay!

Between the gun, parts, and gunsmith labor I have about $1200 into it. $800 Sale is Cash Only.   I'm in Whippany near Morristown. I will travel within a reasonable distance to meet at your preferred FFL to do the transfer.
