Conservativism & Childhood Neglect | Why health literacy should be a human right.
In this episode, we dive into one of the most controversial debates in public health: Should parents' political and religious beliefs outweigh a child's right to evidence-based health education? We explore the ethics of sex education, capability deprivation, and why health literacy is fundamental to autonomy and human rights. Along the way, we examine public health policy, parental rights, homeschooling, media narratives, and the long-term consequences of withholding health information from young people. Whether you're interested in philosophy, politics, public health, or social justice, this conversation challenges how we think about freedom, education, and the future of prevention.
