There is an Investigation Discovery series playing on Netflix called Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV. In this series, they are exposing the sexual abuse and harassment towards some of the adults and children on set. From the inappropriate scenes with children on these shows, to actual sexual abuse by the adults involved, it is a disturbing reality that many are just discovering.
Children grew up watching these shows, and parents trusted the content because it was children’s programming. What may have looked like adult humor, became part of the shows where children were exploited and sexually abused.
What does this have to do with pornography in your local school?
Some may remember the Nickelodeon show called All That. Cast member Lori Beth Denberg, who—in a new interview with Business Insider—accused Dan Schneider of showing her porn. Dan Schneider is under a great deal of scrutiny right now because he was the producer for many of the successful shows at Nickelodeon.
Denberg adds to the list of problems that plagued the sets that these children were working on. She mentions that her producer, Dan Schneider, showed her porn.
Porn is now available to children in our public schools. They can access pornographic books through their online Apps downloaded on their I-Pads or their Chromebooks. Denberg reminds us that giving children porn to view, is part of a sexual predator’s grooming tool. It’s how a sexual predator grooms children into becoming victims of sexual assault.
So why is this allowed in our public schools?
Many parents have challenged pornographic books, only to be met by resistance and pushback from those who claim this is book banning. Some of the resistance comes from the LGBTQ community, who continually make the argument that porn should be available to children. It seems that there has to be damage done to a child before everyone acknowledges the harm that this is doing to children. One thing’s for sure, you won’t find much courage inside our public schools. They do nothing but point fingers, and refuse to remove it.
Why is it ok to block porn on the Internet, but if it comes to children in the form of an online book, that is acceptable?
None of this is book banning because these books are available to purchase. Parents simply want to make sure these books are not available to their children in school, and taxpayers do not want to fund them in their public school libraries.
As more is revealed about the Nickelodeon scandal, parents wonder how this is condemned in one arena but not another.
