By Elena Chin Mom’s for Liberty Queens County Chapter Chair
It was with a heavy heart, that I ended my career as a NYC elementary school guidance counselor in June of 2021. At that time, I was two years short of reaching full retirement age and I took a reduction of 12% of my pension. I hadn’t planned to retire for a few more years. The decision did not come easily.
When the schools shut down in March of 2020, I never imagined they would remain closed for as long as they did. My heart went out to the families I worked with as they struggled with the demands of remote learning. The Department of Education’s response to the pandemic was shameful. As a guidance counselor, I witnessed firsthand, the social, emotional, and academic impact school closures had on the children. COVID-19 policies were undoubtedly more harmful to the children than the disease itself.
The Supreme Court has ruled that, “transmitting obscenity and child pornography, whether via the internet or other means, is…illegal under federal law for both adults and juveniles.”
-Reno v. ACLU, 521 U.S. 844
Obscenity is not protected under First Amendment rights to free speech. Violating obscenity law is a criminal offense. Distributing obscene material to children under the age of 16 is even more strictly prohibited, and is likewise punishable under federal law. However, in 44 states nationwide, as sexual education curriculum, children in pre-school through grade 12 are being exposed to inappropriate explicit material that fits the legal definition of obscene. The same material, if presented to minors by adults other than educators or librarians, would be deemed obscene, harmful, and treated as a criminal act punishable by federal law.
Over the past decade, communist and Marxist principles have been gaining traction in the United States, as evidenced by the far-left ideologies embraced by the Democratic Party and the destructive policies of the Biden administration. However, these ideologies are fundamentally incompatible with the values and principles that define American society. To prevent their spread, it is crucial that we take immediate steps to halt their encroachment.
This march toward communism can be partly attributed to a failed education system that promotes indoctrination over American values. Too many believe that the United States is inherently evil and corrupted by a capitalist economic system. This view ignores the fact that capitalism has lifted millions of people out of poverty and is responsible for much of the progress that we have made over the past two centuries.
