[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My personal view - kids should have no role in activism on any issue. No adult I know asks teenagers for life advice, with good reason. I can't imagine what life skills people think kids will develop by being encouraged to dig in their heels on complex and sensitive issues that they probably never even thought about before a year or two ago, and never having had any real responsibilities, never had to make hard decisions, no instinctive understanding of compromise or the limitations of their knowledge or worldviews - and on and on. It does seem like a good way to produce more sanctimonious and narrow-minded adults though![/quote] Its fine for kids to pick causes and stand up for them, but its not ok to skip school when they can protest before schooll, after school and weekends with parents permission.[/quote]
