"I want to be a voice for America's children... advocating... the
immediate abolition of the legal status of minority and the reversal of the legal presumption of the incompetence of minors in
favor of a presumption of competence; the extension to children of all procedural rights guaranteed to adults; the rejection of
the legal presumption of the identity of interests between parents and their children, and permission for competent children to
assert those independent interests in the courts."
- Hillary Rodham-Clinton, Harvard Educational Review, 1974. |
