values. School board races are one important example. With some school
boards across the state considering policies that hurt kids, like
so-called "comprehensive" sex-ed, your vote on Tuesday could make a
BIG difference.

New York Times has revealed that there are over 45 million videos and
images of child sexual abuse online. These numbers represent an
exponential increase from a decade ago. Even more sobering, behind
those numbers is the harrowing reality of millions of children who
have been exploited and abused, their lives upended, and their
innocence destroyed.

In light of this horrifying reality, will people wake up and replace
the sexualization of children with focused efforts to protect their

A great starting point for Minnesota would be to stop the push for
radical Comprehensive Sex Education (CSE) in children's
classrooms.

couples' small groups, marriage classes, or other marriage
strengthening efforts, consider attending an upcoming Marriage
