Adolescents are philosophers in the making. As they grow, they begin to develop their own personal beliefs and identities apart from that which they had come to know as a youth.
To infantilize them is to rob them of their autonomy and critical thinking. To subject them to rigorous systematic dogma is to suppress their natural intellect and imagination. It is nothing less than inhumane and must be objected at every corner of the world.
You will find those who have grown old in feign frailty, often demoralizing the youth, as they deem the future leaders of the world, unworthy to carry onward obsolete ideologies, whose purpose was to never serve those who'd come after.
