(LifeSiteNews) — On this week’s episode of The Van Maren Show, Jonathon chats with anti-porn activist and author Kristen Jenson about how parents can “porn-proof” their kids and why she rebranded her organization from “Protect Young Minds” to “Defend Young Minds.”
Jenson has written a book for parents and children ages 6-11 titled Good Pictures Bad Pictures: Porn-Proofing Today’s Young Kids, and then followed it up with a version for parents and children ages 3-7 titled Good Pictures Bad Pictures Jr.: A Simple Plan to Protect Young Minds.
Jenson says it was necessary to write a book aimed at such children because they’re getting exposed — and not always of their own volition — to pornography at younger and younger ages.
There are countless reasons to conclude modern sex-education is less about critical thinking and more about indoctrinating and sexualizing children at as young an age as possible.
Consider these 3 questions:
- Why are politicians around the world pushing radical transgender theories on children as young as 5?
- Why is the World Health Organization calling for 4 year-olds to be taught how to masturbate?
- Why are children in schools being shown graphic images of sex and told anything goes so long as consent is established, if not to encourage our sons and daughters to become sexually active?
A sane society would try to shield impressionable children from becoming sexualized, and encourage them not to watch pornography, take puberty blockers or mutilate their genitalia, but our schools increasingly promote these behaviors.
In reality, the media, most politicians, and many education chiefs are obliterating a parent's ability to protect their child's innocence and identity.
We must realize: these elites want children to have THEIR values, not YOURS. SIGN THE PLEDGE!
The results of this explicit, inappropriate sex-saturated culture and education have been startling: there have never been more children claiming to be transgender, gay, lesbian and bisexual, nor have we ever seen such high levels of sexual assaults by minors.

This nut could end up being your child’s teacher and you wouldn’t even find out the craziness they’re teaching until your kid tells you about it. If you aren’t disturbed after watching this, you’re a lunatic. School choice is the civil rights issue of our generation. pic.twitter.com/y1V3Rotx9k

Countless politicians, media personalities and education chiefs are too busy promoting woke trends to realize that sexualizing minors amounts to grooming, and has devastating consequences in many cases.
Children whose inhibitions are broken down risk addiction to pornography, teenage pregnancy, STDs, gender dysphoria, online shaming, and a whole host of other negative outcomes.
Parents, not the government, must be in control of what their child is taught about sex.
Just listen to the type of materials public schools in the U.S. are promoting:
That's why we are asking you to sign the Parents' Pledge that you will pull your children out of sex-education classes if your school chooses to sexualize your child.
The Parents' Pledge is our best chance of winning back our children's schools before they're entirely lost to radical sex-obsessed teachers' unions who are foisting these curricula on teachers.
Do you really want other adults deciding what your child is exposed to? Of course not.
Please share this brand new grassroots Parents' Pledge with like-minded parents and join a growing movement of mothers and fathers who are wise to the threat of their child being led into sexual activity.

“It’s just getting worse as far as the exposure of children to this kind of content, and I can’t even imagine really myself when I was that age, I can’t imagine getting exposed to pornography,” she says. “And it’s not the pornography of yesteryear, right? It’s not the pornography of the Playboys of the ’60s and ’70s and ’80s. It’s really much worse, much more degrading.'”
Jenson, the founder and CEO of the anti-porn resource organization Defend Young Minds, also offers an interesting reason why she rebranded the organization from its original name of “Protect Young Minds.”
“You can protect your car by waxing it, right? You can protect your house by putting on a new roof and painting it, which we just did. But that’s not really protecting from an enemy,” she says. “When you defend, you are defending against a known enemy. And so we wanted to step it up because there are known enemies that are trying to pull your kids into porn any way they can.”
