Description

Regarding debates around laws like Iowa's SF 496 re age-appropriate materials in school, parental rights, mandated pronoun disclosure, and "instruction" or "promotion" of issues related to sex or gender-identity in k-6: could autonomy rights of minors with regard to their learning be theorized within the liberal tradition in such a way as to at least partially accommodate the rival positions of conservatives and progressives, as well as the sometimes opposed positions of parental rights advocates and upholders of a state/public interest in a more expansive pedagogy?
