This past week, the U.S. appeared before the U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child in Geneva to discuss its record on upholding children's and adolescents' rights. Ideally, that review would have been an opportunity for the U.S. to explain on the international stage its policies that clearly violate young people's human rights. Instead, the U.S. dodged a dialogue on issues that go to the heart of the treaty like child health and education and the role that its policies play.
