Yes, students should be encouraged to voice their opinions so they have a greater understand the world around them.
@9HC9CJC8mos8MO
No. This encourages radicalisation and indoctrination towards minds that are not fully developed. Students should have political exposure limited somewhat until they reach voting age.
@9HC5JDH8mos8MO
no, students should wait till they have finished school or are 18 to make decisions that will effect social activity
@9H7D6B68mos8MO
No, when committed to a strong political opinion at ages under 15 - there is immaturity and an inability to fully grasp a concept
@9QYFR262wks2W
No because it robs them of their childhood and makes them view the world as bleak and unenchanting.
@9QYC3XNDavid Pocock2wks2W
Yes. Engaging with social activism is important to be better equipped to handle situations that may arise in the future. It is also important for expanding beyond one's own circle compassionately.
@9QS8T3F3wks3W
I think it is important for young people to have their voices heard
@9QPSL6G3wks3W
Students should be taught knowledge so they can form their own opinions. They should not be instructed on what their opinion should be on a subject. Lets take a topic that you are an expert on, as an example. For me it is motorsport. When I talk to a casual viewer, their opinions are often backward and completely removed from logic. It is because they have little to no knowledge on the subject to properly form a reasonable opinion. This is the same for young students. They cannot possibly understand a subject enough to warrant being an 'activist'.
@9PP3ML31mo1MO
No. It is a waste of time. Go to school, get a job and stop wasting your time protesting about anything.
@9QKSW8W3wks3W
Yes, engaging with policies and political decisions is always good
No activism should be freedom of choice but nobody should be forced into it against their own free will but it is good for youth to have a voice.
@9PR7N3P 1mo1MO
If social activism is encouraged by leaders, it has no value. Transgression needs to be taken, at risk, and by force, and only when something is so wrong that we feel the necessary move to act. Otherwise, it's just entertainment.
@9PP3M2N1mo1MO
No I believe that student shouldn’t and they should make up their minds and that we should not indoctrinate children by encouraging a lifestyle that can help them or endanger them
@9PNLXHC1mo1MO
Yes, engaging with policies and political decisions is always good
No, it is useless and an annoyance to the general public.
No, primary and high school students should not be allowed to participate in social activism as they should be in school learning. They are to young to be able to make a properly informed decision on topics like environment or wars in other countries.
@9H6WFDJ8mos8MO
Why not, as long as it is done in safe and non violent manner
@9RJX86T 2 days2D
No, most opinions aren't formed until around 18 to 20 and at earliest 16.
