Youth may be kidnapped and imprisoned in a gulag school all at the whim of their parents with complete sanction of law. www.oblivion.net   (5033 words)

YOUTH PERSPECTIVE / Transferring teen clout to the voting booth Since then, the Berkeley chapter of the National Youth Rights Association (NYRA-Berkeley) has been working hard to find a new sponsor for similar legislation.

The Jessaverse Change and Exchange :: Youth Rights This sort of home-schooling is just as inimical to youth rights as standard public schooling is.

The idea of parental supremacy and infallibility is what later informs such unjust laws regarding youth. insolectual.blogsome.com /category/youth-rights   (2132 words)

Observations..."Youth Alcohol Policy" The National Youth Rights Association believes American youth alcohol policy should recognize the inevitability of alcohol consumption among youth and seek to reduce the harm of that alcohol use, rather than unrealistically try to keep young people from drinking at all. Much of the debate about the drinking age has centered around the success or failure of the National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984, which forced states to raise their drinking age to 21. At the very least, American youth alcohol policy is ineffective. www2.potsdam.edu /hansondj/InMyOpinion/YouthAlcoholPolicy.html   (869 words)
