“Every family should extend First Amendment rights to all its members, but this freedom is particularly essential for our kids. Children must be able to say what they think, openly express their feelings, and ask for what they want and need if they are ever able to develop an integrated sense of self.

—Stephanie Martson (20th century)

“There is no topic ... more soporific and generally boring than the topic of Ireland as Ireland, as a nation.”
