'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 couldn’t 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 haven’t 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 don’t 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 that’s my responsibility to inform my child. But she’s 9 years old. She’s a very innocent child to share this information with, but now the council, Chad Williams, has blatantly put these signs in her face.”

Huntington Beach is run by a bunch of magats and they love to line the major streets with signs like this.

They did it in the last election.

I am sure these 'Porn" signs will adorn the sides of many major streets in HB before its done.
