The formative years: Children’s media and family values

And let's break down some of that.

the things that you mentioned, because somebody could be listening who doesn't agree with you, Dr.

Fox.

I'm thinking, you know, oh, you've got a bone to pick.

It's a personal prejudice.

Why, how does it affect little children to introduce them to sexually oriented material at a young age, you know, introducing drag queen story time, introducing men who dress like women and how does that affect them? What, what can you tell us about a sunlightness to tell us and, and not, you know, can include from a biblical viewpoint, but also secular studies as well.

What do they show us?

Well, the first seven years of a human life are rapidly forming and developing your thought, your worldview.

That's why the Roman Catholics say, you know, give us someone before they're seven years of age and we've got them for life.

It's not a religious statement.

It's actually a psychological statement.

In those first seven years, those formative years of learning what is good and bad, what is bad, what is right and wrong, what is pleasing and not pleasing, what is male, what is female, what is appropriate touch, what is not appropriate touch.

And I'm not inferring any of that to Rachel.

What I'm saying is that in those seven years, we must be very, very careful in how we raise those children and grandchildren and then place them in front of a screen that where a presenter is saying things that need to be explained to a child's mind that cannot even comprehend what do you mean by orientation, what do you mean by LBGTQ.

Now, Rachel, in her own personal life, has gone very public with her political views.

And undoubtedly, that bleeds through into the tone and presentation on a show.

And then you have to explain that to a child.

How can a child understand a war between Israel and Palestine? How can a child understand why is this man dressed up as a woman wearing makeup when my mom tells me I'm a boy and I do boy things and my sister does girl things? Why is this different on Miss Rachel? And then you have to explain it to a child.

So it must be very, very careful.

It's a public pulpit in many ways of spelling out what is out there in the world.

I concur with you a thousand percent.

If I was a little kid today, and that scenario just described makes for extremely confused people.

And we scratch our heads and say, gee, why are kids so suicidal? Why are they this? Well, you know, we need to step back and look at the double messages we're sending them.

And we need to be...

Sesame Street was doing this for decades, but they were doing it appropriately.
