JOIN OUR ORGANIZATION'S WORLDWIDE EFFORT TO PROTECT CHILDREN FROM PORNOGRAPHY
OUR COMMITMENT
Mission Statement
We are a non profit organization, dedicated to ensuring that the children attending our schools and libraries are provided with a safe, nurturing learning environment. Critical to this mission, is the removal of pornographic material, images, advertisements, and videos from K-12 "research" or "homework" databases.
Pornography has no place in any school or library.
If you wouldn't put it on the shelves where parents can see, why are you hiding it in a database?
The Porn Industry in our Schools
The Trojan Horse in America's Schools
- Commercial school vendors say their K-12 databases are scholatic, so why are they embedded with sex ads and porn? We have a 5 minute video (below) to get some quick facts, and then Listen to our webinar .
5 minute video: Warning - Video Contains Adult Content found in K-12 "databases"
Is the Porn Industry in Your Child's School?
- We call on educational leaders and lawmakers to set standards for Ed Tech. Hold commercial vendors accountable!
- PINE has been inundated with reports of obscenity in EBSCO, Explora, GALE and other digital "research" or "homework databases"
Our Children Must Never Be a Target Market For the Adult Entertainment Industry!
- Popular commercial vendors (EBSCO, Cengage GALE, ProQuest and others) promise market expansion to their publishing /advertising partners. What does this mean for student safety?
