So, here at Objectivism Online we are objectivists, or claim to be, anyways. I'll get to the point: American youth are enslaved. Here are my main points : A. A child can be acting rationally while their parents are not. B.A child can be rationally acting while a statesman is not. Let's get to some examples. A. A youth wants to work on a science project of theirs which their religious parents deem witchcraft and thus prohibit. A youth wishes to be with their peers which is intellectually stimulating while the parents prohibit it. The outcome of A will be the use of force or violence that parents can use. B. A statesman can determine that a child be given to parents who can in turn use violence or if the parents are rational and disagree with the state's laws, the children can be ripped from their parents and put in a foster home or institution where there is total control (hypothetically) If A, the child would hypothetically leave the situation but because of B they cannot. Thus, the slavery of a child.
