  • In the 21st century, capitalism, extended schooling, and technology have empowered more children to shape their own lives
  • and threaten adult supremacy.

The article by Chris Matthews, published on MSN, discusses the increasing influence of children in shaping societal and political landscapes. Matthews argues that children, through their demands and the advocacy of their parents, are polarizing societies. He points out that issues like education, health care, and environmental policies are increasingly driven by what is perceived as beneficial for children, often leading to a divide between those who prioritize children's needs and those who feel these demands are excessive or unfairly prioritized. This polarization is evident in debates over school curricula, where topics like critical race theory and gender identity are hotly contested, often framed around what is deemed appropriate for children. Matthews suggests that this focus on children's issues not only shapes policy but also intensifies cultural and political divides, as different groups vie to define what is best for the next generation.
