As their teachers went MIA.
What do you mean use of children? The greatest stakeholder in a school is a pupil. Let us try to imagine what the children saw when they reported to school on Monday morning. Their beloved school raped and divided by a weak, stupid wall. Maybe they got moral support of the teachers, some parents and activists. That should not detract us from the fact that the children were outraged and that was clearly evident. They were attacked in their own compound where police manned the gates as they reported to school. All the blame should be on the grabbers and trigger happy policemen, trying to shift blame to the kids is joining the other team in supporting impunity!!!
Use, Yes. There is a reason why we have adults, in PTA's and not the pupils. There is a concept such as Child Protect which should be an instinct with EVERY adult! Someone, anyone, should have removed those children from harm's way before they were teargassed.
Please note I did not BLAME the children. The full blame lies with the Police, the Activists and the teachers. The children were the grass here. And that is what makes me very mad.
....above all, to stand.
