Unconstitutional, discriminatory to bar kids from expressing themselves, says DAP MP

“The matter should not have surfaced in the first place as there is no evidence that these children were being exploited in any way by their school or by other interested parties,” he said in a statement in response to Deputy Education Minister Teo Nie Ching’s assurance Tuesday that no action will be taken against the child protesters.
Ramkarpal hoped the SJK Sg Ara students would not be put off by the exploitation claim, but would continue their efforts to raise greater awareness about climate change.
