"I feel very strongly that children should not be used in what is a propaganda war. They should not be involved," she said.
Her stance was endorsed by the chairman of the Caithness Wind Information Forum Stuart Young.
"Tom Pottinger — a local farmer and director of Baillie Wind farm Ltd — is being extremely clever. It is very good PR and you have to admire him for that," Mr Young told the John O’Groat Journal.
But he added: "It would be much more admirable if he informed them what it is costing them and their parents and the poor people who live there."
Mr Young claimed youngsters are being "brainwashed" at school and told about the advantages of green energy "without hearing the other side."
