Action Needed! Our legislators need to hear from you! Ask your representatives to support good legislation to protect minors from obscene material. Sadly, obscene material has been found in more than 40 locations in K-12 grade schools and children’s sections of public libraries across North Dakota.
It is reprehensible to have sexually explicit content accessible to children.
SB 2360 is a good bill that was passed by the Senate. It will now be heard by State Representatives this week! The bill protects minors by prohibiting the promotion of obscenity, objectionable materials, and obscene performance.
You can read my letter in the Fargo Forum, which provides more reasons SB 2360 is needed. Letter: We are grateful for lawmakers working to make libraries safe places for children – InForum | Fargo, Moorhead and West Fargo news, weather and sports
SB 2360 needs to pass. Taxpayers should not be forced to pay for material that is harmful to children. Also, allowing children to view sexually explicit material is sexual abuse as defined under the North Dakota Department of Human Services, Mandated Reporters.
Please Take Action!
Contact your Representatives and ask for their support of SB 2360. If you are a member of Concerned Women for America of North Dakota, please let them know.
