deleted in a steady stream? Some people ask unimportant questions and never get deleted, and brag about that. Meanwhile, children are treated like second-class citizens and denied the opportunity to seek the truth when information is deleted. An idea starts with one person and becomes a majority popular idea only when others are allowed to consider it. Children are not senseless idiots though many treat them that way.

Questions are deleted for violating the Community Guidelines. It has nothing to do with the age of the asker, it has everything to do about content.
If someone posts the question "how do u sex?" it will probably be deleted. If an intelligent question about sex such as "what are some birth control methods?" is asked in the appropriate category it will likely remain.

I think it's because Yahoo's moderation system is broken. I've noticed their's a number of people that can report something, or certain individuals that tend to report well whose reports are given more weight. A lot of innocent non-offensive questions can get tossed; repeated attempts to email Yahoo fail with automated messages.
Concerning religious questions, I imagine non-tolerant liberals and atheists just report them. I can understand sex-related questions being filtered for content.

I think it's more about Yahoo not wanting to antagonize advertisers and want to keep them happy so they'll spend even more of their advertising dollars here.

I do believe that is the theme of the Golden Compass.
