They believe\u2063 that parents should have the power to protect their\u2062 children from \u2063exposure to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wapo-op-ed-showing-sex-kink-to-children-encourages-self-expression\/\" title=\"WaPo Op-Ed: Showing Sex \u2018Kink\u2019 To Children Encourages \u2018Self-Expression\u2019\">sexually explicit content<\/a> at a young age.<\/p>\n<p>The debate revolves around the balance between freedom of\u200d speech\u200d and protection of children.
