Not accommodating kids in the workplace has worked pretty great for us for a few hundred years now. I'm not sure your arguments for changing that are compelling

  For the last few hundred years women were effectively required to stay home and look after children. We've pretty much doubled the size of the workforce, but have to make some accommodations now that there isn't an assumed stay-at-home caregiver.

  Pretty sure you didn't think this through since in the last few hundred years we absolutely accommodated kids at work. In coal mines and factories. Pointing at historical norms is generally a poor way to argue for what's right.
