Weaponizing children with the 'US Youth Climate Strike'

Little girls and boys across the country are skipping school today to protest inaction on climate change by adults.

I guess schools have changed a lot since I was suspended for walking out on Vietam War Moratorium Day in 1969. In the case of the climate change "strike," school authorities are, in many cases, looking on with approval.

The stunt is supposedly the kids' idea, but they're recieving some "help":

"I've always been passionate about fixing something when I see something is wrong," says Coleman, whose environmental activism began with a campaign to help manatees. "I ended up saving one manatee. His name is Cheese. He's adorable," she says.

Well, of course he's adorable - just like you. And it's that "adorable" quality that the adults behind this stunt are using.

Well heck yeah. Hey napa nan. How about lowering the voting age to like 6 or something. I mean if 11 and 12 year olds can figure out how save the planet (which will be just fine with or without us) why not. Any parent that pushes their offspring in this should be charged with child abuse.

As I posted in previous post. You must brainwash the children before you can control them. The world, including the USA, is on a fast track to accomplish that.

shanover :" No wonder the scum left want to have 16 year olds the ability to vote."

Most 16 year olds live with their parents, or in a single parent household.
They are so worldly that their main concerns are:
..controlling zits,
..whose is dating whom,
..the school baseball team, football team, (seasonally adjusted)
..and concerned about the cell phone having only 40% of a charge, and not being able to text their friends.

The voting age was reduced to 18 yr. olds since so many were going off to war and putting their life in the country's hands.
That's hardly a comparable rational to reduce the age of voting due to only carnal and material concerns.
Leave it to the DemocRATS to be so shallow and self-serving.
