They are denied only the right to marry, while children are denied nearly every basic human right in the Constitution. Therefore people should consider it as important as the struggle of America's youth.

That's the organization I work for, and we'd definitely welcome your active support.

Happy Independence Day. Someday, it actually might mean a great deal to the children dragged through the meaningless motions of its modern ceremony. Oh, yes! Happy Independence Day.

But I never knew there were groups out there who felt the same way! It truly is the last prejudice because it's the one that is least likely to go away. Not to denigrate these other movements, but even animals have more civil rights advocates than children, not to mention women, racial minorities, gays, etc. Adults will fight tooth and nail with the conviction that children are weak and stupid, connecting it with their own baseless assumptions about childhood, school, and psychology. Make no mistake. The fact that so many people not only fail to recognize the need for youth rights, but advocate stronger measures against it, means that it is conceivably the last of all civil rights movements.

I never really had a problem with the "last civil rights movement" statement, even though I know of a lot of other small civil rights movements. It WILL take us a long time to get people to see what we mean as regards youth rights. Look at the women's and black rights movements. They took forever to be ingrained in our society, and we STILL have problems with sexism and racism. Awesome article.

But on another note, why does everyone support domino theory except when it doesn’t suit them?
