Caveat I don’t have kids.
Can’t kids just miss a meal if they don’t want to eat it? Not like a kid is going to die from one missed meal.
Hmmm everything is political?
No. Everything is anime.
It’s privilege.
When people don’t want to talk politics it’s because they have the luxury of not being affected every moment of their lives about said politics.
I.e. easy to switch off the ‘trans people should die’ rhetoric when you’re a cis gendered middle aged white man in a western country.
Wealthy people’s experience of university is very different from someone who attends purely on merit.
University isn’t some great filter that distinguishes legitimately intelligent people more often than not it’s just a tool to separate social classes based on arbitrary expertise requirements.

Cat 5 don’t fuck around.
Good luck Florida.
Wait what’s that about Chelsea Manning‽
The only person that claims there was some kind of a relationship prior to the guy and girl meeting is the mother.
If there was any strong evidence to this story it would have been tested in court. The article specifically says that was not the case. Which means it’s basically heresay about his interest in her when she was 14.

You don’t get to use a lack of higher education as an excuse to be ignorant though. Not saying you do, but there are people that take the idea that just because there are stupid people who are highly qualified means that all ‘experts’ can be disregarded. Not true.
There are plenty of intelligent people at uni, just like there are plenty who never did higher education.
The things that both of those groups have in common though is that they are curious, intellectually honest and can be reasoned with when presented with evidence.
