Why the Left Needs Children. Posted on January 10, 2008. Written by Adam Wilson. I’ve been a parent, along with my partner Megan, for a little more than two years, and we have tried to stay committed to social justice work since the appearance of our daughter in our lives. While our participation in activist work has been limited recently as a result of raising our child and job changes, it also makes me wonder about the Left and our relationship to children in our midst. Childrearing is a political act.

I mean we should scrap age limits and give suffrage to anyone who wants to vote and is capable of getting through the process (with forms of assistance that don’t entail voting. The person-in other words, the same forms of assistance we offer to the elderly and physically disabled). But what is reason, exactly? Critique of Pure Reason. We don&...

Because they know that whatever damage they inflict, the Froot Lo...
