The long-term consequences upon societies of children who feel targeted by authorities -- their own governments' authorities or supposedly allied governments' authorities -- on the basis of their largely inherited ethnic or religious identity, even as governmental claims circulate about equality/non-discrimination? Not good, and that is probably far more problematic longer term than adults/parents having to deal with the same issue -- with perhaps the exception of most parents not really being that well prepared to respond to children when a government messes them over too.
