They have had the whole of the summer holidays to protest, or is this just another exercise brought on by their left-wing teachers?
All seems reminiscent to the Nazi teachers in 1930's Germany.

Teachers are clearly in a position to teach their honestly held beliefs. If they have proof, preferably scientific, of their opinion then that's not so bad, but it's an abuse of the position of trust otherwise.
Surely the suggestion isn't that the teachers are arranging it though. It's the kids looking for an excuse to truant, even if it might mean going on a protest. If the kids were really concerned then they'd protest on their own time, over a weekend.

It’s nonsense to say it has more impact on a school day. The media would be out reporting on it on any day. Perhaps both the kids and any teachers who might be encouraging them/organising them are not keen enough on the cause to give up their own free time for it. Get back to school kids and have your jolly on a weekend.
What a bizarre reaction.
Firstly teachers have not arranged this event.
Secondly teachers do not run the schools, the Government (or local authority does).
Thirdly the Government are not lefty, nor are most local authorities.
Fourthly teaches come from all sides of the political spectrum, not mainly lefty or righty.
Fifthly, this is a worldwide event, not solely British.
You may consider climate change to be a waste of time. But to liken it to Naziism is just plain stupid. It is not propaganda, it is a theory, that needs to be discussed, and people make their own opinion and decisions about.
A large number of adults believe it and tell their children, who then protest about it.
Not sure I agree with children striking from School, or indeed being actively political at a young age. But it is not the dawn of a new third reich.
