Should kids not be allowed to read Trotsky or Marx?
Reading is not totally good. That is a empty statement.
There are things that are horrific out there that no child should be reading. A number of people “went bad” after reading Marx, Engles, Trotsky.
Learning judgment and discernment is just as important as reading.

Of course not. Children are bent the way they are influenced and that is not something to influence one’s child with at an early age.
A man ran a mental institution, he would not permit his children on the property until they were 16. Because if they were young they would would not know any better than to imitate the residents, when they were older they were more intellectually and emotionally developed and able to withstand bizarre influences.
So children IMO should read things that inform, strengthen, and develop worldview. Should they read about the RESULTS of Marx and Trotsky? Absolutely. The right book at the right time.
