Dwyer's Anthropolgy: A question

This from an MOJ reader on my post about James Dwyer's views on the child-state-parent relationship (i.e., parents are merely state licensed care-givers for children):

“I liked your post re Dwyer and the challenge you put out 'So, smart
guy, what's your anthropology?'  Love to hear his response.  Absent a
thoughtful answer to this question we really can't have a serious
conversation about the rights of children, or anyone else for that
matter.”
