(CNN)Most politicians go to great lengths to avoid alienating large sections of the population, but Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison apparently didn’t get the memo as he blasted schoolchildren who are organizing protests for climate action.
“What we want is more learning in schools and less activism in schools,” Morrison said during question time in Parliament Monday.
Young people are planning a series of strikes over three days starting Wednesday, walking out of classes to draw attention to the lack of political action on climate change.
