This article presents the author's views on necessity to force children to school and giving children right to vote. The author says that the child labor and compulsory schooling laws were passed by well-meaning people to protect children from exploitation. The author believes that children should not be forced to go to school or be penalized if they choose not to, a choice that is certainly the most sensible course for some people. The author says that children should also get the right to vote. Some people believe that children would vote the way their parents tell them to, which would, in effect, give parents more votes.
