Once they do all that they can speak out.
If the house is on fire, does it really matter who speaks out? Why would they not be allowed to speak up for things?

Not that Thunberg is, but if there was a 16-year old whiz kid at math who wins math competitions doing linear algebra and calculus, I'm probably more inclined to listen to his advice on mathematics than 36-year old with a family, job, and average education.

Also, I think you might have an issue with what Thuberg is saying, rather than saying anything in general. Lots of youth join protests and are activists for various causes. Fair to say?
