I think he should be allowed to skip school while doing this too. He's a child and he's doing something for his generation's future. It's not too late to change things, but politicians have to wake up! We should cherish his political engagement and not ask ourselves any more questions: clearly he is right since he's a child, and you're an awful person if you oppose his actions and his goals.
That's what this forum would say if he were standing there for "climate change", after all.
And rightfully so.
