Ilhan Omar’s Daughter Leading Climate Change School Walkouts in U.S.This Fri

Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) daughter is leading a national movement of students seeking to ditch class on Friday to participate in a worldwide climate change protest.

Omar’s daughter, Isra Hirsi, 16, of Minneapolis, is spearheading the nationwide youth climate strike protests across the U.S. in nearly 50 states and Washington, DC., along with co-organizers Alexandria Villasenor, 13, of New York, and Haven Coleman, 12, of Denver.

Hirsi, who lists on Twitter page that she is the head of the Minnesota High School Democrats and several other left-wing youth-based organizations, said in a recent interview with Grist that she is looking to “change the conversation” on issues such as the Green New Deal by organizing the strike.

“That’s what we’re trying to do: Change the conversation not only about things like the Green New Deal but so much more. Obviously, one strike isn’t going to change everything, but this isn’t the last strike,” Hirsi said.

The ignorant uneducated are staging a walk-out. Can we bring back lessons like if your friend decides to jump of a bridge, would you?

Walk the hell out then. Life will go on as usual. Nobody cares about a bunch of teenieboppers and their issues.

My kid gets disciplined and suspended for wearing a confederate shirt, because "It is disruptive to learning" but leading a school walk-out is okay? Talk about disrupting the learning!

No wonder our kids are so stupid these days. They will never amount to a hill of beans because their little tiny mushy brains are filled with this kind of s**t instead of academics.
