Item 4N - Resolution No. 08-014
Students and Parents Against Risks to our Kids (SPARK) was created to address the various risks that face the children of our community.
One of the first issues that came before the SPARK (Students and Parents Against Risks to our Kids) Committee was the risks that pornography through the internet poses to families and
children.
Item 4N - Resolution No. 08-014
The internet has developed without any effective means of controlling adult material and pornography.
We have legislation to protect our children from alcohol, firearms, tobacco products, adult television and adult material in stores and businesses.
Item 4N - Resolution No. 08-014
There is currently no legislation that protects children and families from pornography on the internet.
Filtering products and login definitions have been unsuccessful in protecting children from pornography.
All internet information comes through one port (identified as http: and known as Port 80).
Item 4N - Resolution No. 08-014
A Foundation known as the CP80 Foundation has proposed federal legislation that would create a second port and enable families to choose whether their internet service contains adult
material.
Resolution 08-014 expresses our support for legislation that would allow families and businesses the option of receiving the internet without adult material.
