In the book “Stolen Youth: How Radicals Are Erasing Innocence and Indoctrinating a Generation,” co-author Bethany Mandel recounts her time spent bedside in a hospital with her dying mother. At one point, when her mother has only hours left to live, half a dozen doctors and medical students inappropriately show up to examine the device regulating her mother’s spinal cord fluid. Forced to take charge, Ms. Mandel orders them out of the room. Later, when her mom is gasping for her last breaths, she commands her grandmother to quit screaming or go away. She wants her mom to die in peace.
Ms. Mandel was 16 years old at the time.
