[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend posted a video of his K and 2nd grader doing this, he was so proud. I thought it was so dumb. Why you'd take a kid to protest something they haven't even learned about, let alone get them tied up in political causes is such a ridiculous elitist DC thing to do.[/quote]

what about the hundreds of thousands of kids who participated around the world?  are they ridiculous and elitist?  I think it's awesome to start conversations with kids about tough issues that will require their voices to effect (and hopefully sustain) change.  I think you're underestimating kids and the impact of events like this.  I still remember seeing my older sister go to marches when she was in HS and I was in elementary.  taught me the importance of voice in a democracy.[/quote]
What if you have no concept yet 1) what the climate is, 2) the science behind any of it changing, 3) what a democracy is?

I think for a high school kid it's great, maybe even middle. A second grader would be better served by just going to school and learning.[/quote]
