That is highly disingenuous. The advice they gave, in context, was:

1.Speak Up _in Class_

Raise your hand, even when you’re not sure about the answer. Avoid editing what you want to say in your head, and try not to worry about being wrong. Speaking up isn’t about having the perfect answer. It gives you the experience of thinking on your feet, debating with others, and wrestling with an idea—all crucial skills that you’ll use in every area of your life.

I like that the leadership tips were generally about building confidence, instead of playing the victim as would be expected by the campaign name (as long as you ignore the intro copy).

Really the only tip that matters is tip #9, which basically says people will give you shit but do it anyway. This is something all kids need to learn.
