THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
Hypothetical Oral Argument
Kelvin, Petitioner
v.
United States, Respondent
(Addressing the constitutional void, systemic neglect, and absence of enforceable protections that allow children to be subjected to violence, coercion, and psychological harm within compulsory public education without real‑time state intervention or parental accountability)
Opening Statement
For generations, the United States has compelled children to attend public schools while providing no constitutional mechanism to protect them from the predictable violence, intimidation, extortion, and psychological trauma inflicted by fellow students. The State mandates attendance, controls the environment, restricts movement, and assumes custody — yet refuses responsibility for the harm that occurs under its supervision. This is not a mere policy failure. It is a structural constitutional defect that deprives millions of children of safety, dignity, and equal access to education.
Mr. Chief Justice, and may it please the Court:
This case presents a question that has been ignored for far too long:
Can the government compel a child into a state‑run institution for over a decade while disclaiming responsibility for that child’s safety, emotional well‑being, and educational access?
We contend that it cannot.
Across the nation, children endure daily bullying, harassment, threats, physical assaults, and psychological degradation inside compulsory public schools. These harms are not isolated. They are systemic, predictable, and widely acknowledged by teachers, administrators, counselors, and school resource officers. Yet the State provides no enforceable remedy, no real‑time protection, and no constitutional framework to intervene before the damage is done.
A child cannot leave school.
A child cannot transfer without parental resources.
A child cannot defend themselves without punishment.
A child cannot seek legal remedy because the system treats child‑on‑child harm as categorically less serious — even when the consequences are lifelong.
The State knows this.
The State mandates attendance.
The State refuses to protect.
Compulsory attendance creates
