999 times out of 1,000 arguments from "what about the children" are stalking horses to control the behavior of other adults.

The conservative mind believes in the tabula rosa concept that children have no agency and are vessels for adults to fill with knowledge, culture, and morals. Therefore new social ideas and change must therefore be a conspiracy to trick the young.
