So the state of the whole world right now feels like the consternation on your grade-school playground when there was a big, though stupid, bully who wouldn’t stop menacing people. We’re as confused about how to handle it now as we were then.

Children should have rights and those rights should be protected. Among them are the right to an education, to healthcare, and to safety… to be safe from harm. They are not their parents’ possessions, to be used or abused at will. Throw in freedom of religion.
ETA: Children should have a right to self determination, consistent with their capacity.

It’s especially painful when you look at the graph of fired scientists and know that at least 25 of those data points are your friends and colleagues, some of whom you have worked with for 30 years.
