Now if we can only get one passed for billionaires that act like kids.

Should ban cultural brainwashing in the public education system.

I love this! Smartphones and social media have been unregulated for too long while being marketed as safe for kids. 

Parents have been misled.

It’s great to see regulators and medical organizations stepping up!

We must keep reducing the harms to kids, especially young girls.

Cant rely on organizations for children's future. Parents have to impose this upon children. Cant allow young kids to be in a hypersocial environment and twist their perception of being.
