Dear John,
There is a spiritual and cultural battle raging for the minds of our children. The LGBT agenda is in full force, and it is aimed at the youngest and most innocent among us.
The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) features the popular children's show Arthur; the longest-running cartoon series on television today at 22 seasons. Recently, PBS aired a controversial episode entitled "Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone." It featured a same-sex wedding ceremony between Arthur's teacher Mr. Ratburn and another character named Patrick. The segment concluded with Arthur and his friends celebrating at the wedding.
It is almost too incredible to believe, but a trusted children's cartoon with a target audience ranging from preschool to elementary ages is promoting the radical Left's agenda on homosexuality and same-sex marriage -- and this effort is funded by your tax dollars.
When PBS Kids aired the episode in question, VeggieTales co-creator and Christian producer, Phil Vischer remarked, "It was a shot heard through the Christian parenting world."
Moms, dads, and grandparents must protect the next generation! LGBT activists are using programming we expect to be wholesome as a Trojan horse, thereby deceptively exposing our kids to a narrative that rejects and often mocks a biblical worldview.
At Family Research Council, we equip you and your family to counter the cultural narrative that contradicts biblical beliefs on sexuality and marriage. It is your financial gift that helps us to expose the liberal agenda and protect the family.
DONATE NOW
The recent Arthur episode is just one example of how liberal activists are shaping the cultural worldview. Hollywood has an ongoing strategy to undermine the natural family by showcasing LGBT characters on children's programming.
In June, the popular television channel Cartoon Network promoted "LGBT pride month" by tweeting a message to their fans to "stand proud all year long." The tweet included a graphic of their popular remake cartoon The Powerpuff Girls.
If you are looking to Disney as a trusted media source for family values in children's programming, then look elsewhere. The company, which bears no resemblance to the man who created it, has transformed from a beloved American icon to a reliable voice for the radical Left.
Activists now praise Disney for presenting LGBT characters in movies like the 2017 remake of Beauty and the Beast and in its television cartoon Doc McStuffins -- marketed to preschoolers -- which featured two lesbian "moms."
It is time to stand up! Liberal activists are pushing sexual anarchy on young children who are not even old enough to understand the concept of sexuality.
FRC provides information to parents, pastors, and concerned citizens on numerous issues, including parental rights and protection of the family. We equip you to exercise your religious liberty, raise counter-cultural kids, and defend the biblical worldview.
Will you prayerfully give a generous gift to sustain our vital work to protect faith, family, and freedom?
DONATE NOW
At FRC, we know that raising a family is a blessing and that parents and grandparents remain the most influential voices in their children's lives--despite the Left's best attempts to usurp the authority of parents.
Scripture warns us to be alert and vigilant, because "Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." 1 Peter 5:8 (NIV)
While these attacks manifest themselves in policies and programs targeting our children, this sexual indoctrination that is infiltrating our homes, schools, and communities is a spiritual battle.
We must pray and we must stand to protect the next generation!
Cultural forces coming for our children are turned back when parents, pastors, and concerned citizens pray, speak out, and defend the biblical worldview.
Thank you for your prayers and financial support as we counter the culture and protect the next generation!
