Well most people do have to work, that's just a fucking fact. So should children be allowed to skip/drop school and work or not? That would be treating a child like an adult.
"they cannot reasonably consent to"...hm... now why is that? Could it be lack of maturity? Children you know, not being the same maturity level of adults? Think!
All the fluffy idealism aside, you agree? giving children a choice in whether to go to school or, will just fuck kids up mentally? Certain skills are crucial to learn as a child, such as language and math, or else it becomes very difficult to pick up later. Children don't have the maturity to understand that and make a decision like that.
Nah not really, if anything you proved why "ageism" is necessary in these cases. If you agree with me on these, then you also recognize that children shouldn't be treated equal to adults.
thoughts on youthlib?
Honestly I had basically no idea about this movement but I just looked it up.
It makes some sense, like for rights to education, protecting children from child abuse, etc.
However, I don't see how it's a good idea to get rid of "ageism" towards young people since it's just a fact that children are immature and shouldn't be treated equal to adults.
How about you? (you can just send me another anon message saying "youthlib anon here" or something)
