Last Wednesday, the Federal Communications Commission’s Media Bureau issued a public notice seeking comments on further empowering parents to protect their children and make informed choices about the TV programs their children watch. In its notice, the FCC challenged the TV Oversight Management Board (TVOMB), which includes various representatives from health and media companies, raising concerns about the efficacy of its existing content regulations and its representation of parents’ best interests in protecting the safety and well-being of their children.

One of those concerns includes the growing ability of media companies to platform children’s shows and movies that support and even promote gender ideology. ACPeds supports the FCC’s desire to enforce regulations that would require media companies to limit such content or provide a disclaimer informing parents about such content.

To protect children, ACPeds recommends generally limiting screen time for minors and has previously issued resources to equip parents and warn of the risks of uncontrolled media exposure.
