Learn from a 12-year-old

Posted on April 15, 2010 by Sabina Becker

Meet Frankie Hughes and her mother, Renée Espeland, as they talk with Amy and Juan on Democracy Now. And then ask yourself: How could two unarmed persons–one, a tiny little minor–possibly be so threatening to an Iowa senator that they were charged with trespassing, and in the mother’s case, “contributing to the delinquency of a minor”? And how on Earth is being pro-peace, and using one’s right to free speech for a good cause, a “delinquency”?

    Apparently, when a twelve-year-old shows that she has more social and self awareness than most adults, including that of senator Tom Harkin, his first reaction is to arrest her. Harkin’s middle name is Richard of course. lol
