Local school climate change strike interrupted by school closure caused by climate change
Or something like that. We used to call it global warming, but now we refer to it as climate change, and in a few years, global cooling, and after that, "we hate you and why isn't the world ending like we said it would, and why can't we read because our parents filled our heads with pablum?"
Oh youth, wasted on ignorance. If the kids aren't dumber today than their predecessors, it's not because the local schools aren't trying. I get dismissing school yesterday, but I'm unclear for the need, in Colorado (where it snows, or at least, it seems to be, unless we are now referring to snow as "frozen climate change tears"), and particularly (look out the window) in Estes Park, for the overabundance of caution exercised today, unless we now send children to school in bubble wrap, or consider a shortage of vegan and gluten-free burritos in the school cafeteria a national emergency.
Tomorrow, the kool kids are going to ditch class to protest the changes that led to them being excused from school the previous two days, or something. It's hard to satisfy protestors who don't give a clear notion of what they want, or what can be done about it: More snow? No more snow? Less snow? Snow portioned out it predictable small packets that sticks on trees just long enough to snap a photo for Instagram?
I hate that prolonged exposure to solar radiation causes skin cancer, and demand an immediate cessation of the sun, and skin cancer, and skin. Supposedly, one in 12 college-age students has a formulated suicide plan. This despite 12 in 12 college-age students' gratifications being immediate, every want or need being overabundantly fulfilled. I wonder how many Yazidis (look it up) in war-torn Syria and other Middle Eastern countries have a formulated "I'd like to survive" plan.
