In Indiana, 16 and 17-year-olds can now work the same hours as adults and are no longer restricted by school hours and days. They also can work overnight without an adult and perform hazardous agriculture jobs. Many 14- and 15-year-olds can now work during school hours as well.

I'm fine with giving kids after-school work or a class that pays them but letting kids work heavy or repetitive jobs is a mistake. 🤷‍♂️ they aren't ready in body or mind to handle the toll a repetitive job will take from them.

Wait until child marriage laws are changed to the age of 12. Helpful hint— 12 year boys aren’t lining up to get married… but gross men in this country want to marry little girls

The rights authoritative parenting is directly related to their decent into fascism.

Like, the way the right wing uses children is obviously extremely dangerous, violent, etc. — *and* I’d also add that their obsession with controlling children is also just straight up creepy, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that some of those J6 guys were found to be pedophiles

Threat just wha happens when you see children as a resource to be owned, consumed and discarded. It’s really gross.

(More specifically talking about child marriage laws, re: age of consent laws, in the first post, should’ve been clearer)

They want a peasant class whose children also bend the knee. Perhaps that’s why they’re attacking schools as well. They don’t need their workers smart. As Musk said, he will just get the smart ones from other countries.

I talked about the child labor stuff in my Livestream. Everything they say is the opposite of what they actually do
