Lefty child abuse

This is just cynical lefty groupuscules (e.g. www.revolution.de ) manipulating gullible teenagers for their own ends. As if a strike of school pupils would have any leverage... They're simply damaging their prospects in exams and compromising their chances of entry to university or a decent apprenticeship.
