The answer.... there's always more to do! While completely banning pornography becomes a fight for First Amendment rights, protecting our children and youth from the destructive effects of pornography is within all of our rights!
There are three main players in fighting against Pornography, Fight the New Drug, National Center on Sexual Exploitation, and Citizens for Decency. All three of these organizations are doing everything they can to fight against pornography. They have great resources and up to date information on what is being done to fight pornography as well as the success stories they have had. It would be good if we could all in some way get involved in one of these great organizations and volunteer some of our time to fight against Pornography.
The Biggest victories that we have seen so far is that this summer The Republican National Committee has recognized that pornography is a national health crisis! We need the Democratic National Committee to do the same!
McDonald's and Starbucks, in partnering with Enough is Enough, to filter their public WiFi to prevent access to pornography.
Idaho State Law, now requires child-friendly Internet filters in all Idaho public schools and a yearly, mandatory, Internet safety education component for both students and teachers.
All Idaho public libraries to have Internet filters to protect children from accessing pornography.
And on March 11, 2016 in Utah, they passed a resolution declaring pornography as a public health crisis. Check it out here: Concurrent Resolution on the Public Health Crisis.
These movements have proved helpful, but so much more needs to be done. Parents should not have to worry that the children will stumble across porn with a mistyped word while googling something, or stumble across and inappropriate picture when looking for something in Google Images. More needs to be done! Our kids have a right to be protected! More can be done with our help! Let's get involved and help protect our children and our families!
