Isn’t this the same idea as the Westboro Church trying to force their children to protest something they have no information about? Yes she’s promoting love, but to me that doesn’t make the brainwashing any better. Let our children have their childhood and learn to think for themselves and then when they’re teenagers they’ll join the protest.Wow, fuck you for acting as if these things don’t happen to kids.I for one am super glad that the parents of this girl are teaching her about boundaries and consent. Kids are definitely smart enough to know about these things. Also, your’re comparing teaching your kids basic life rules to preaching hate? Wtf is wrong with you? It’s not brainwashing, it should be the bare minimum for decent parenting.I was the organiser of this protest. Actually this girl’s mum was an asylum seeker who got raped and then got put in a detention centre here in the UK. This girl knew exactly what happened to her mum. Asylum seeker children don’t get the same innocence that a lot of white British kids do and that’s the fault of the society we live in. I’m glad that she is protesting about it, you would be too if it was your mum. The thing with trying to promote the sort of innocence that you’re promoting is it just means that all these people’s horrific stories of injustice get shoved under the carpet and nothing gets done. Innocence is only something that privileged kids have, for the rest of us ‘innocence’ just means silencing. It’s because people like this girl have spoken up about things that her mum even has half a life in the UK today. -- source link
