Child has to shush rude adults at the latest schoolboard meeting

"It is super weird to be here because adults don't think that their children should wear masks," Kaylan said when it was her turn to speak. "…A lot of you guys are adults. You guys should be able to know that masks save lives."

When some audience members voiced disagreement, Kaylan responded: "Can I please speak? Let me speak before you guys go off."

Her demand was met with applause.

But some audience members continued talking, which prompted Kaylan to say emphatically: "Please be quiet…It's inappropriate that you guys can't stay quiet."

1. I am amazed that a 10 year old has that kind of poise.

As to the adults shouting over a 10 year old at the mike ... I have no words.

Never will I forget him shoving aside other world leaders to get to the front of a summit meeting. Neither he nor his followers have any fucking manners, decency or class.

6. Can you imagine how these same angry adults would respond if children were behaving in the same way?

I doubt they would tolerate very much of it.

I just point out that almost 4 out of 5 people who are eligible have been vaccinated, and that if you’re not, you have an 11 times greater chance of dying if you do catch it.
