ED #16 - Prohibit Sexual Grooming of Minors

AS PROPOSED BY PC(S):

Be it Resolved,
that the state of Texas Republican Party should ADOPT A PLANK on Prohibit Sexual Grooming of Minors to read as follows:

Plank .... Prohibit Sexual Grooming of Minors - Adults must not desensitize children to to sexual topics, expose children to or normalize sexual behavior for children.  Texas should modify the Miller Test in the Harmful Materials to Minors statute to close loopholes exploited by publishers and digital resources.  Texas Legislature and State Board of Education must remove the conflict between law and administrative code to provide clarify that a local school district may choose to NOT teach Human Sexuality Instruction and that a local school district may choose to be an OPT-IN district.  We demand that the Texas Legislature pass regulation that requires Texas schools and libraries to filter inappropriate and/or harmful content, such as pornography, for minors.  School District employees, contractors, or volunteers must not demonstrate or distribute contraceptives to minors, including condom dispensers in the restrooms, refer or provide counseling for risky sexual behavior, abortion, or any reproductive subjects, host extra-curricular clubs or activities for minors of a sexual nature, or provide digital or physical publications related to sexual subjects.  Abortion providers and affiliates must be prohibited from having a physical and digital presence in schools.  Texas should prohibit the advertising, promotion, distribution, and sale of obscene devises to minors or displayed within minor’s reach.  We call on the Department of Justice, State Attorney General, and local District and County attorneys, and law enforcement to enforce obscenity laws to protect minors regardless of source, whether domestic or foreign.  If necessary, we call on Congress and Texas Legislature to expand jurisdiction to allow enforcement to enforce obscenity laws to protect minors regardless of source, whether domestic or foreign.  If necessary, we call on the US Congress and Texas Legislature to expand jurisdiction to allow enforcement.
