155. That was my take on the story--she's not trying to 'prove' anything...
...except to show that her friend's belief is mistaken.

Some already have expressed mistaken concern that the child is being put up to this; why would anyone want to see her encouraged to take up some kind of school censorship crusade? She's an 8-year-old kid, not a puppet to be used for our own political purposes.

She made her point. Now, let her get back to studying math, and sience and history. And if something strikes her as wrong in the future, let her decide if, and what, she wants to do about it. She seems like a bright kid, very mature for her age, and capable of figuring things out for herself without any partisan "help." Especially from so-called 'adults.'
