Leigh Finke claimed during a Thursday hearing that pornography could be \u201ceducational\u201d for \u201cqueer\u201d children while arguing against a law requiring age verification to access adult web sites.\n<\/p>\n<p>The legislation\u00a0HF 1434, would require age verification for sites deemed \u201charmful to minors,\u201d with sites failing to do so being subject to civil action from the state attorney general and private citizens. Finke, a biological male who identifies as a transgender woman, claimed current sex education was not being provided for LGBT youth.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe AGs in many states are, are very clear about that they\u2019re almost jubilant about being able to use these laws to <strong>ban young people from accessing content that could be educational if they are queer<\/strong>,\u201d Finke claimed during the Thursday hearing. \u201cAnd you\u2019re a principal, you have LGBT students in your school, and we also know that they\u2019re not receiving sex education for queer kids. We know that. Prurient interest could be for many people the very existence of transgender kids. More and more people are saying there simply are no transgender kids.\u201d [emphasis added]<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t Representative Finke\u2019s first time sexualizing children. The lawmaker authored legislation in 2023 to remove an exception for pedophiles when it came to protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation. He also received a \u201cChildren\u2019s Health Hero\u201d award from the Children\u2019s Minnesota hospital system for authoring his state\u2019s \u201ctrans refuge\u201d legislation.\n<\/p>\n<p>Pornography is obviously harmful, especially for children. it is difficult to see why anyone, especially an elected official, would seek to encourage its use among children, much less call it \u201ceducational.\u201d Representative Finke\u2019s comments show just how far our nation has strayed from the Lord, as well as just how far the radical left will go to harm children.\n<\/p>\n<p>Several states across the nation have already steps legislative steps to prevent children from accessing pornography. Let\u2019s pray that HF 1434 would pass in Minnesota, and let\u2019s pray for the protection of our nation\u2019s precious children!\n<\/p>\n<h4>Share your prayers and scriptures below.<\/h4>\n<p>(Excerpt from the Daily Caller.
