    As opposed to climate issues, where children do not live on the Earth and are therefore unaffected.

      Just because someone is involved in the system doesn’t mean they should be “on the front lines”.

      Kids are affected by war in Ukraine. Should children be on the front lines? Of course not.

        Are you actually comparing bringing children to a peaceful protest with conscripting child soldiers?

          Obviously I’m drawing a hypothetical to.make a point. Only a very presupposed reader would think I’m suggesting the magnitude of danger is equal. The exercise requires critical thinking to realize what is similar and what is not between the examples.

          For your assistance:

          My core point is that a highway is an unsafe place to gather.

          Adults have the agency to make personal risk decisions, and children do not.
