    True but I mean no one respects child autonomy anyway, so we would need to levy that criticism far more widely if we want to take it seriously.

    Plus I’m not sure I trust governments to protect child welfare more than their parents do. Parents are imperfect but when governments get it wrong the consequences are far more catastrophic.

      yup. we need to listen to kids more and treat them with more respect and do more to protect their rights. dress codes don’t remotely accomplish this and do the opposite
