Teenager scapegoat in a changing America
HAL BOYLE argues the teen ager is unfairly blamed for society's ills. He notes youths 12 to 19 are stereotyped as reckless performers, yet many are cautious and capable, with wartime persistence shaping their resilience. The piece reflects on past generations' moral panics and the teen as a social litmus test.

The decision aligns with similar Supreme Court concerns about freedom of attention.
