Reading some of the Lawrence v. Texas threads, one would think the SCOTUS had authorized what the NAMBLA types call "intergenerational intimacy". Of course they haven't, and never will. But the above Amendment could ease the minds of some and clear up a couple other issues. Between the various causes benefitting, it might get through.

I put this over here because the rules regarding vanities seem to be looser.

We've been needing this for a long time, primarily to regain control of the public schools, where various court rulings have found that unruly adolescents have virtually unlimited 1st and 4th Amendment rights (but mysteriously no 2nd Amendment rights).

The Ninth and Tenth Amendments should have been sufficient to cover the ills you are seeking to solve. However, the despotic federal government and its courts have eliminated those amendments from the Constitution.

Nothing in a written Constitution is safe when a court finds rights in the "penumbra" of the Bill of Rights. I would hazard a guess your proposed amendment would suffer the same fate.
