There was a similar story/video a few years back of (the late) Diane Feinstein being a dick to kids when they tried talking to her about climate change. -But I don't think she ever attacked education.
And Barbara Boxer before her. It's just an old lady in politics thing. Men in politics generally have learned that yelling at children is bad. Notallwomenbutalwaysawoman
Clearly unacceptable, and part of the reason the elderly need to be stripped of their seats. I will say, however, it takes a certain kind of evil to do it pre-meditatively like the woman in this story did.
