conservatives and reactionaries love to advocate on behalf of children b/c they see children as unpersons who can be ignored completely when they self-advocate and whose will ought to be subordinated to their adult owners; this is the main part of the freak out about "#criticalRaceTheory", "#wokeism", and all the #queerphobia targeting public education and educators.

right-wing adults believe they are entitled to their own children thinking and acting as those adults say the children should think and believe, and b/c the right engages in extreme indoctrination and coercion to achieve this, they also believe that any divergence of obedience must be due to some nefarious outside influence rather than the children themselves having agency or original desires.

these adults are looking to eradicate all competing forms of ideas children might be exposed to and to beat and even torture children that fail to comply e.g. "#conversionTherapy"
