re: #539 SixDegrees

Well, yes - that’s the whole point of using children as spokespeople. Any attempt at all to counter them is easily cast as “You’re just a big meany, beating up on a little kid!”

Why do you think the kid was spotlighted, and not the kid’s grandmother, who is apparently just as outspoken on this issue and is, as an adult, more articulate?

I would be just as horrified if they’d said any of that callous crap to the child’s grandmother.
