US society has demonstrated a) it's generally too incompetent to be telling kids what to do and what not to do, and b) does not have kids' best interests at heart anyway, seeking to forge kids into soulless cheap interchangeable laborers and soldiers to be used and worn out in the vanity projects of billionaires. For every kid in the US, their whole job is learning that everyone, including their parents, are in on the ruse, and to find a way to escape this destiny.

For that the internet will be most useful, and any barriers we have to information it will be up to them to break.

Oh, and our society fucked up the climate and ecology enough that there's going to be a food crisis in their adulthood. And we're trying to pretend that won't happen.
