CHILDRENS VOICES IN POLITICS - MICHAEL S CUMMIN...

Is the official political silencing of children in a democracy rational and just  or is it
arbitrary and capricious? How might democratic polities benefit from the political engagement
and activism of young people? Michael Cummings argues that allowing children equal political
rights with adults is required by the basic logic of democracy and can help strengthen the weak
democracies of the twenty-first century. A good start is for governments to honor their
obligations under the ambivalently utopian UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Children's
political views differ from those of adults on issues such as race  sex  militarism  poverty 
education  gun violence  and climate change. Young activists are now sparking change in many
locations around the globe.
