'Porn' on election signs near Huntington Beach schools by councilman 'inappropriate,' officials say
When Megan Fowler dropped her 9-year-old daughter off at Harbour View Elementary School in Huntington Beach on Monday morning she couldnt miss seeing some political signs near the school entrance that she was not expecting.
Protect Our Kids From Porn, No on A & B, the large signs read. They were visible from the playground of the Ocean View School District school.
Fowler was worried about her daughter, who is in the third grade, having questions about the word porn. She said she felt the signs used her child as leverage in an adult debate.
We havent even had the sex talk yet, she said. I was waiting until like 10 or 11. How can I explain porn without having to go through all of that? I dont want my child to be like me, who grew up in a super-conservative, right-wing Christian home, where I had to learn about sex through other kids at school. I feel like thats my responsibility to inform my child. But shes 9 years old. Shes a very innocent child to share this information with, but now the council, Chad Williams, has blatantly put these signs in her face.
