That is something parents should remember. It is time that Libertarians realized that the concepts of liberty and youth are not mutually exclusive. We Libertarians have an obligation to stand up for the equal freedom of all individuals, youth included. The fight for youth rights is just as important as ending the drug war, privatizing government functions, lowering taxes, and restoring all of our Constitutional liberties. In fact, the fight for youth rights is an intrinsic part of all of the aforementioned battles.
Youth are as affected as any other group by drug prohibition.
Working youth are forced to pay into an entitlement system from which they will never see a dime. And young people s constitutional liberties are under assault in a myriad of ways, some of which I listed at the beginning of this essay. Its time for Libertarians to acknowledge, recognize, and support the youth rights movement in this country.
