I argue that autonomy is a cardinal value of liberalism and is central to human flourishing in democratic society. Although liberalism is not inherently hostile to religiously motivated parents and communities that may not give pride of place to autonomy, the liberal state is justified in circumscribing free religious exercise and parental authority over children to the extent that these threaten to undermine children's prospective interest in developing into independent and autonomous persons.

Liberal democratic societies are rooted in a dual commitment to equality and liberty. Citizens of such societies, ideally, believe in the fundamental moral equality of others and the right of those others to live their lives as they see fit, provided doing so does not cause undue harm to fellow citizens. Dedication to these values is crucial to the maintenance of peace, order, and security in contemporary societies, which increasingly are characterized by deep diversity. However, it is not clear how children, who are neither free nor equal---in the sense of having the same set of rights or capacities as adult citizens---are to be treated in such societies.

This conception of children's citizenship in liberal democracies is then applied to three distinct public policy contexts, which have a significant impact on the life chances of children: medical ethics, sex education, and Mormon Fundamentalist polygyny. Each of these cases highlights the tensions that may exist between the religious commitments of particular families and communities and the basic rights and interests of children.

This question is complicated by the fact that children are not solely members of the political community, but are also members of families and sub-cultures that adhere to particular beliefs about what constitutes a good life and the appropriate means to achieving it. How should the liberal democratic state approach child citizens who are raised by parents whose religious convictions motivate them to treat their children in ways at odds with what the state considers their children's basic or best interests? Are there ways to accommodate religious pluralism without undermining children's well-being? This book is an effort to address these two fundamental questions.
