Protect against Title IX and submit a comment by September 12, 2022.

The US Department of Education released their proposed changes to Title IX regulations that would dramatically change the future for women and girls in federally funded activities and programs. There are many negative impacts that will harm girls, women, and families.

A government portal has been set up for you to make a comment submission.  It is very straight-forward and easy to do.  In addition, this governmental body is required to read every submission, large and small – before they can finalize the new “Rule.”  So rest assured, your input will be read and considered.

TAKE A STAND TODAY

Here’s the question we asked UFI readers:

Do you agree with the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that minors, as a part of free speech, have a constitutional right to purchase video games – even if they are violent, pornographic, and sadistic?”

Here is how our readers responded:

97 Percent          Disagree with the court’s decision

 3 Percent            Agree with the court’s decision

It appears that there are plenty of Americans who agree with our readers.   A recent Rasmussen poll reported that two out of three adult Americans (67 percent) believe that states should be allowed to prohibit the sale or rental of violent video games to minors.

One of the most interesting aspects of this decision is that the court chose to center its ruling on First Amendment rights of minors – free speech – rather than viewing violent video games as a continuation of already-in-place laws and policies to protect minors from pornography – and let’s not forget laws that ban children from obtaining and using alcohol and cigarettes.   Laws have a long history of helping parents protect their children from harm.

We refer you to a blog post that UFI wrote last August giving the reasons why California (and other states) should be allowed to restrict the sale of violent and pornographic video games to minors.
