A large group of Republicans in the House of Representatives introduced a bill on Tuesday to prohibit federal tax dollars from going toward exposing children to sexually explicit material.
The 33 Republicans, led by Mike Johnson (Louisiana), seek to prevent federal, state and local governments, as well as private organizations, from using taxpayer funds to distribute this material to children under the age of 10. Specifically, the Stop the Sexualization of Children Act bill aims to "prohibit the use of Federal funds to develop, implement, facilitate, or fund any sexually-oriented program, event, or literature for children under the age of 10."

The bill addresses, among other issues, the distribution of material depicting "masturbation, pornography, sexual acts and gender transition." It also addresses the fact that "burlesque shows and drag shows on Federal property during family-oriented events" have previously been hosted by the opposition.
Congressman Mike Johnson specifically calls out organizations like Planned Parenthood for "encouraging legislatures and school boards around the country to implement sexual education curricula that teaches radical gender theory to children under 10. Children should be learning about reading, writing, and mathematics, not radical gender theory," he says.
The Democrat Party and their cultural allies are on a misguided crusade to immerse young children in sexual imagery and radical gender ideology. This commonsense bill is straightforward. No federal tax dollars should go to any federal, state, or local government agencies, or private organizations that intentionally expose children under 10 years of age to sexually explicit material.
According to the legislation, parents can also file lawsuits against any public or private entity that violates the new rules. Any organization caught teaching these topics more than once in a five-year period will lose access to federal funding for three years.
