I don't think "child armour" should become a thing. I think the precedent - that you can use a minor to make a political statement and they are automatically immune from backlash - is a very slippery one, because people will DEFINITELY exploit that.
I think if a teenager makes the choice to fully enter a political battleground (as Greta has done, admirably), and their guardians sign off on that decision, then that teenager should be treated as (and RESPECTED as) a participant in the debate absolutely no different to any other.
Whether or not it's actually a good idea for someone so young to open themselves up to such a battleground is another debate.

So long as the debate is valid debate I completely agree.
"Go watch a movie and CHILL GRETA, GOD!" from the POTUS is absolutely laughable. But, tbf, he does it to everyone not just children. He's just not equipped for politics in any way shape or form.
