SB0017 would remove the exemption for K-12 schools and certain public libraries under current law that prohibits the distribution of material or a performance harmful to minors. The Senate passed SB0017 on February 1, 2022, by a vote of 34 to 15. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because parents have a right--and the government has a duty--to protect young children from obscene, indecent, or profane activity. Parental rights, as with all other fundamental rights to life, liberty, and property, are guaranteed by the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
