The Establishment is Exploiting Schoolchildren to Propagate Deceptive Climate Change Legislation

Following is a summary of a New American article entitled “Using Children to Shill for Bad Science: The Sham of the Children’s ‘Climate Strike’”

Tens of thousands of kids around the world skipped school on Friday to protest climate change, with the Establishment media often insinuating that the protests were a spontaneous outpouring of activism due to the inspiration of a 16 year old Swedish girl Greta Thunberg who protested against climate change outside the Swedish parliament last year, for which the political Establishment nominated her for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Despite the protests being portrayed as the result of supposedly independent thinking students becoming overcome with anxiety about climate change, the event was actually coordinated by Establishment organizations who also gave exaggerated estimates of the number of students protesting to the media.  In the United States, kids chanted slogans in support of the “Green New Deal,” which is a plan that is forwarded by the Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez which doesn’t have specific details, yet it is widely supported by leftists who wish to destroy the American way of life.

Of course many kids also skipped school on Friday only because they could do so without being reprimanded.  Such a “school walkout” is the political Establishment’s latest propaganda tool which is intended to further entrench the leftist indoctrination of kids while giving the media access to groups of protesting students, with the indoctrination being so successful that the Senator Nancy Pelosi is now proposing lowering the voting age to 16.
