Adult Supremacy - With Dr. Casey Y. Myers

In this episode of Children Deserve Better, Dr. Jasmine Moses sits down with Dr. Casey Y. Myers—educator, researcher, and co-founder of Watershed Community School—to unpack adult supremacy and its impact on children’s lives. 

From classroom routines to state laws, we explore how unchecked adult power harms children—and what it takes to raise and teach with solidarity instead of control.

 Topics include:

• What Adult Supremacy is and it's impact
  
  
• The difference between guidance and control
  
  
  
• How everyday practices can uphold harmful power dynamics
  
  
  
• The long-term impact of adult dominance on children’s development
  
  
  
• What it means to treat children as full human beings
