Analysis / Bias

The National Youth Rights Association’s focus issues are lowering the voting and drinking age. The National Youth Rights Association does not use loaded words and sources its information to mostly government and low-biased websites.

Editorially, NYRA leans left with promoting youth rights related to the civil rights movement. For example, in the article How Fighting Sexism at School Led me to the Youth Rights Movement, they provide well-sourced details on how LGBTQ and youth are discriminated against. In general, NYRA is factual and leans left politically based on advocacy for youth rights.
