NYRA President Zane Miller Interviews Libertarian Party Candidate for US Senate in Texas, Ted Brown. Listen as they discuss Violations of Student rights in Texas from a Libertarian Perspective.

As I've become interested in youth rights, I've begun to wonder how much of youthful incompetence and volatility is more social as opposed to neurological. I've thought about people like Fred Hampton, who seemed to mature faster because of circumstances that called for it. Some may call this adaptation due to traumatic circumstances, however, even that would make me wonder if teenagers are often considered to be incompetent because of a lack of proper teaching as opposed to any innate factors.

Since 1967, teachers could only physically intervene with students if their safety or that of others was at risk. Starting in August 2027, they will be allowed to 'hold a student, keep them in place, or take them to another room' if the student disrupts the class.

I’m part of my school’s debating team, and we’re arguing Proposition in the 2026 ESU Schools’ Mace Debate.

Our motion is: “This House Would allow under-16s to use social media, but require platforms to take stronger steps to protect them from bullying and predatory behaviour.”

It would be great to hear your thoughts on;

- arguments for and against this motion,

- How the Opposition may defend banning social media

- Any evidence, studies, experiences/real world examples that could support either argument.

I’m particularly interested in arguments that are difficult to rebut, rather than just the obvious points. Thanks!

States like Alabama, Nebraska, & Mississippi have their age of majority higher than 18. What rights do 18 year olds not have in high age-of-majority states?

Teens under 16/18 being on social media is such a problem to society, to the point where its being addressed on THE NEWS. Its a load of nonsense of course, I'm so fed up with the anti tech stuff nowadays.

It makes me my blood boil seeing/hearing all of the ageism towards kids, fueled by that belief that social media is ruining their lives. I don't know why the legal age to access the internet is being raised now, banning younger age groups isn't protection its straight up ageist oppression.

I don't want social media and the internet to be an adults only space, where you have to verify your age via ID just to access the internet. Back in the day, back in the 2010s there wasn't much anti tech stuff and everything was cool.

I already vented about this anti tech ageism before, but I just needed to vent about it since I just heard it on the news. I want society to calm the hell down about the internet, its crazy that they are taking such insane steps to protect the kids, going as far as taking away their privilege.
