The headline's characterization seems designed to stoke outrage over something that appears to be fairly mundane. From my reading, she was politely asked to stroll her baby out of the room, whereas the headline makes it sound like she was kicked out of the conference because kids are not welcome.
In my experience, it's very common to simply exit the room with your kid in these kinds of situations and return after they've quieted down, just as a courtesy to those who are there to listen and to be heard.
I recognize the mother is suggesting her kid wasn't very noisy, but I also know that parents are often biased and protective of their kids and can't always see things the way everyone else does. I guess it all hinges on "was the kid sufficiently noisy", but it's probably not worth litigating the subjectivity in this type of extremely common occurrence.
