Framed as silenced and excluded for expressing a minority political view
[editorializing] The student’s lawyers’ quote — 'told her to sit down and shut up' — is included without counter-framing language, allowing a narrative of exclusion and suppression of young political expression to resonate, particularly around Second Amendment advocacy.
““Rather than take the opportunity to convey to a bright, politically aware 8-year-old that her voice and thoughts matter, school officials instead told her to sit down and shut up − presumably because they personally don’t like the Second Amendment or the rights it protects,” lawyers for the student and her father, Adam Stroub, said in the appeal.”
