John H. Garvey, Children and the First Amendment, 57
Texas L. Rev. 321 (1979).
Abstract:
If children possess moral and political rights against the
state, theories about these rights have scarcely progressed
beyond first principles. The state must retain power to regulate
education and some aspects of family life. Parents sometimes
have a final say concerning what a child may do and experience.
Professor Garvey offers an account of the way in which these and
other realities shape the child’s rights of free expression
under the first amendment.
