"When our president ... goes on television and says everything we're taught in school is wrong, how do you think that makes students feel?" Prestigiacomo said."All I want is evidence-based politics." In criticizing the Trump administration and backing a Democrat-led proposal that may alienate some youth, the movement has showed that it was politically adept, according to John Barry, a professor of green political economy at Queen's University Belfast.

Somebody forgot to educate them that taking a bus or car to a climate change rally doesn’t set a good precedent. It’s not smart to follow stupid.

I fear for our future.

Yes the climate is changing. It has always changed . Stop drinking the socialist koolaid. They only want to tax you more and take away your rights!

Because they really don't understand the total lack of the 'how' side of the equation.

Then they can pay for it. A 40% additional income tax on anyone who today is 19 or younger going forward i to adulthood.

Just turn down the heat

“Organized by children” uh huh...🙄great digging there NBC

Be careful what you wish for!!

People who skip school are often failing anyway. I would know, I did the same thing until I grew up and realized I had to support myself.

The adults should be ashamed of themselves, using children like this......and do not say there were no adults because skipping school is not easy

intellectual Pedophiles called educators

I wonder why SpeakerPelosi wants to lower voting age to 16 years... Hmmm... 🤔🤔🤔

All this is doing is teaching our kids that they don't have to follow rules & laws. This is doing nothing but teaching our kids Terrible bad habits. Now wonder so many kids are so screwed up.

They should protest against the possibility of their siblings/ friends being killed a few minutes after being born, mostly by those that politically support Green New Deal, and something they can easily understand. NoHateJustTruth

Use the kids... Makes sense. They are too stupid to know climate change is a scam.

And SpeakerPelosi wants children at the age of sixteen to vote. That’s the Democratic Base for you. 😏 SenateGOP HouseGOP POTUS TheFive BretBaier

Children protesting nothing they know about. These children are being used by their teachers. No wonder everyone wants to enroll their kids in private schools public schools have become useless. We must now listen to children. FU!!!

All should be given truancy tickets. Green New Deal is absurd. Stop climate change by holding industries accountable for waste management.

Mark them absent and F on the tests. We Do Not Affect the Climate.

Hopefully their parents are all anti-vaxxers.

Save the Children Save the World

So PROUD of students for taking action!!!! So UTTERLY DISGUSTED by SenateGOP SenateDems HouseGOP HouseDemocrats RealDonaldTrump for lack of action and spreading misinformation!

“...but the moderates!” The Green New Deal? Young people want real Change now, They are not voting for Obama or Clinton or Biden or Beto! They won’t be excited by Amy or any of “the moderates”...

did they walk there!!! Hopefully they did not drive there!!!!

See what you started AOC, and this is just the start too..

The indoctrination of our youth is sad. These poor kids are being used.

An excuse to get out of school. More astroturfing by the Left. It isn’t working anymore

Hooray for using our kids as political props too push socialism!!!!!

21WFMJ Because they love to walk nowadays !

These protests aren't organized by teens or children. They're organized by Marxist bastards who are using children as pawns to push their Marxist wet dreams as serious policy.

And they say Trump loves the uneducated? LMAO😭😭😭

Wow so they want to take children away from their education to boost their agenda now? Nice

So great, organized by kids...or Sunrise!! What fake news

Totally organized by children and teens... totally...

Sad sight to see all those youngsters being brainwashed to support something they really don’t understand

This is why we don't allow children to vote, determine their own bed time, or skip school.

I don’t wanna go to funerals ⚰️😭😖😹😹

Next up on the agenda. Abolishing bedtimes and a referendum on where babies come from...

Howard Schultz rebukes Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal: Trying to 'solve one extreme with another'Former Starbucks CEO and potential presidential candidate Howard Schultz says 'Green New Deal' proposal is just trying to solve 'one extreme with another' Howard Schultz is sounding reasonable. Could be tough for him to secure the Democrat nomination with talk like that. I would vote for this man, a lot of people don't want to hear the brutal truth, that will be his downfall. He will be cast aside because people are stupid and don't want to face reality. Wow, he's stupid.

Trump Energy Secretary Rick Perry 'absolutely' would talk with Ocasio-Cortez about Green New DealPerry's stance clashes with comments made by other members of his administration — including his boss, President Donald Trump. Watching Rick Perry as Gov of Texas, I never thought I'd say this, but he may be the 'strength' of Trump's Cabinet. Congressman Graves is an embarrassment, what a tone deaf jerk! Replace him, somebody! Rick perry! LOL. That guy thinks passing gas is still cute.
