The fact is, this is a very diverse country. There s people of all different religious backgrounds, people live in different parts of the country. Different parents have different ideas about what s appropriate for their kids. The GOP hates it when you turn their arguments back on them. But the most parents, frankly, would laugh at the idea that they are in charge of the pull popular culture can have on their children.
Popular culture s so ubiquitous.
You said in your testimony, I do not believe that either government or any entertainment industry committee has any business telling me and my wife what entertainment our children should be exposed to. I think, so far, we can. I think as kids get older it s more difficult. I think parents have a lot of influence at the younger age. They really do have control.
