FELDSTED -- There is nothing remotely righteous about children leaving their classrooms and declaring they are ‘on strike’ and demanding ‘justice’

Righteous anger requires a credible and noble cause.

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) offers neither. There is nothing righteous about terrorizing children. There is nothing noble about attacking and shaming democratic free enterprise nations because of their unprecedented success and subsequent high standards of living.

That is socialist dogma; everyone should have equal benefit from the riches of the world without the responsibility of sharing equally in the effort, failures and risks inherent in generating that wealth.

There is nothing remotely righteous about children leaving their classrooms and declaring they are “on strike” and demanding “justice”. These truants appear incapable of understanding or being grateful that they have the huge advantage of publicly funded classrooms and teachers.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) estimates that 264 million of the world's children don't go to school at all.

The notion that immature children -- lacking real world experience and no sense of responsibility -- are free to leave their classrooms and demand “justice” from those who provide them with the necessities of life, and the luxuries they indulge in, is preposterous.

That is anarchy, not justice of any description.
