Occupy St. Paul’s invited into a school

From here:

The group behind the anti-capitalist protests outside St Paul’s Cathedral is to be invited into schools to teach pupils how to start their own campaigns.

Teenagers will learn about the Occupy movement, which has for months blighted London with its ‘Tent City’ protest, as part of their citizenship lessons.

Critics have attacked the move, warning head teachers it is ‘dangerous’.
It is feared that protesters could use the opportunity to indoctrinate youngsters and gain fresh recruits.

[….]

Mr Kelsey-Fry insisted that pupils will not be indoctrinated with Occupy’s beliefs, adding: ‘We want them to further their own ways of engagement. It’s not a recruiting situation.’

That’s a relief; for a moment I thought that the only reason the tent brigade could possibly have for going into schools was to convince children that they, too, should pick up their tents and Occupy.

What I had forgotten is that they would probably not be allowed to do what must be done for an effective recruitment drive: urinate on someone. Not on the first visit, anyway.
