She looks like she’s from the generation that did a lot of those things early in childhood but then discovered the power of the Nintendo Entertainment System.

Also let’s be honest: If her kids skipped school to be with their lovers, she wouldn’t support this at all. She probably wouldn’t even support kids skipping school to be politically active.
