Contents How the "moral reticence" of contemporary liberalism affects children -- Children and the false charms of liberal feminism -- The "right to privacy" and some forgotten interests of children -- Conflicting images of children in First Amendment jurisprudence -- Looking backwards and forward
Summary Has contemporary liberalism's devotion to individual liberty come at the expense of our society's obligations to children? Divorce is now easy to obtain, and access to everything from violent movies to sexually explicit material is zealously protected as freedom of speech. But what of the effects on the young, with their special needs and vulnerabilities? Freedom's Orphans seeks a way out of this predicament
