Why Repugnantans attack children

Per Lakoff, children, even young adults like the Parkland survivors, are supposed to be subservient to adults. And that's even if the adults are morons, because it's not the place of children to question adults because, damn it, adults just know better. Actually, no they do not, especially in this case, but you can't tell that to a ideological Repugnantan with a strict authoritarian worldview.
