But Justice Clarence Thomas, who dissented from the decision along with Justice Stephen Breyer, said the majority read something into the First Amendment that isn't there.

"The practices and beliefs of the founding generation establish that "the freedom of speech," as originally understood, does not include a right to speak to minors (or a right of minors to access speech) without going through the minors' parents or guardians," Thomas wrote.

I agree with the decision, but I also agree with Thomas in the dissent, in that it is the job of parents to supervise their children in such matters. Unfortunately to many parents have abdicated that responsibility to the government.
