The jacket makes a pretty shitty statement on the face of it, no matter how you could present it, and the message is completely wrong to wear to a children's detention facility. I honestly believe she didn't think about any aspect of it except as a fashion statement, which is a good indication she shouldn't be a public representative.

Education doesn't mean just imparting knowledge, but also tools for how to think, such as logic and critical thinking. This helps one avoid making or accepting policy decisions based on how they make you feel, but based on reality and actions that will help you achieve your goals.

I'm not sure what your point is. It is completely orthogonal to mine. In the same vein, no, you aren't responsible for other people's choices, and yes, rabid dogs (or people who act like them) are unlikely to listen to reason. Neither of those are good reasons to start fights, and that statement neither says that all fights are avoidable or that one mustn't defend oneself.

Yes, and the vast majority of scenarios where that is the case is where one party made completely unreasonable demands or turned to violence as the first option.
