I saw this tonight on the news and thought what a wonderful, brave, intelligent girl. In an odd way, she reminds me exactly of my DS2 as he is so vocal in his opinions...representing his school as Head boy, debate club leader, school councillor etc and a true believer in equality and education for all.
The difference is he's completely free to vocalise how he and the other students feel about things - and actively encouraged to do so.
Unlike that poor girl who nearly died for the freedom my DS and his peers take for granted
