    Are you actually comparing bringing children to a peaceful protest with conscripting child soldiers?

      Obviously I’m drawing a hypothetical to.make a point. Only a very presupposed reader would think I’m suggesting the magnitude of danger is equal. The exercise requires critical thinking to realize what is similar and what is not between the examples.

      For your assistance:

      My core point is that a highway is an unsafe place to gather.

      Adults have the agency to make personal risk decisions, and children do not.
