"That's what I said. Nowhere, in the quote above, is there any mention of a minors First Amendment "rights". However, you, as a citizen, have the right to exercise your First Amendment rights on the behalf of your children. Too many parents have been silent and allowed the schools be taken over by the left."

Nice chatting with you. Truly.
I don't see age restrictions with regards to the Bill of Rights, but I have not eliminated your comments from my mind. Thank you for a vigorous, yet civil, debate.
Thank you for the considered and polite reply. I would like to Post Script the end of our discussion with the following for your consideration:
Article 1, Section 2, Para. 2 "No person shall be a representative who shall not have attained to the age of twenty five years...
Article 1, Section 3, para 4,.."No person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained the age of thirty years.."
Article 2, Section 1, Para 6,...."neither shall any person be eligible to that office [President] who shall not have attained the age of thirty five years.."
The Founding Fathers were obviously aware of age and its effect upon judgement. With the Zeitgeist of "rights" so prevalent in American since the Sixties, and the Left's exploitation of youth and their immaturity, I find it a relief that the Constitution is on the side of "adulthood" in regards to the eligibility of persons regarding the official "public square" (the Clinton's, notwithstanding).
I think the age limits contained in the body of the Constitution to be a long over looked resource to furthering the conservative movement.
