“Ethical responsibility is not a capability installed in children that they otherwise lack. It does not appear at some magical age of reason. Rather, it is integral to human thinking throughout life.”
― John Wall, Ethics in Light of Childhood

“History has often denied full moral thinking capabilities in women, minorities, the poor, the colonized, and most other human groups. Today, however, those most likely to be thought incapable of moral thought are children. What if, however, childhood taught us to think about ethical thinking in a more expansively human way?”
