I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that this person has a more than passing interest in Marxism.
The College Fix reports:
Children need ‘liberation’ from parents, scholar arguesA philosophy scholar interested in Marxism argues for the “liberation” of children from their parents in a new book, set to come out in 2026.The book, “Child Liberation: The oppression of children and the case for change,” is by Lorna Finlayson (pictured), a lecturer of philosophy at the University of Essex in England.Finlayson questions the age limit on the right to vote, mandatory schooling for minors, and the overall power adults hold over children’s lives, according to the synopsis, published by The Bookseller. She challenges society to “break the consensus that children’s lives are not their own.”“… as young people increasingly take part in ‘school strikes’ over issues from climate change to school dress codes, the time is ripe to explore child liberationist ideas and rediscover radical philosophies of childhood,” the synopsis states. “With their help, we can glimpse other possible childhoods, and better worlds for all of us.”The College Fix contacted Finlayson three times for comment over the past month, but received no response. The Fix asked about her thoughts on early childhood education, the maturity of children, and parents’ role in a child’s life.Finlayson’s scholarly interests include “Marxism and critical theory” as well as “non-Western philosophy (esp. Arabic philosophy and philosophy in the Islamic world),” according to her CV.Recently, she also has voiced support for the pro-Palestinian movement on social media.
