Laurie Schlegel never imagined herself in public \u2064office. But just a few years into her\u200b first term in the Louisiana House\u200b of Representatives, she has become one of the most effective legislators in the state, and possibly the nation. Her popular law protecting children from onscreen sex has garnered attention and praise.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, Schlegel&#8217;s husband had\u200d encouraged her to run for office, but she \u200dalways dismissed the idea. She was a busy \u200bmother, counselor, and community member who\u200b had no\u200b interest \u2063in campaigning. However,\u2062 when a state House position opened up, Schlegel decided to take the leap.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2-long d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-1024594225\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1379703300879-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-50a2da9caed0c47b873dc30f1466483a fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-50a2da9caed0c47b873dc30f1466483a\"><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;It just felt right.

One of\u2063 her first priorities was tackling the harmful influence of the \u2064porn\u2062 industry on children in the \u200bstate.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-9bf67af6cac6c6b18300af05b364926a fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-6\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-9bf67af6cac6c6b18300af05b364926a\"><\/div>\n<p>For decades, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/author-of-infamous-gender-queer-book-i-dont-recommend-this-book-for-kids\/\" title=\"Author of controversial 'Gender Queer' book advises against its suitability for children.\">explicit sexual \u200ccontent<\/a> has been easily accessible to people \u200bof all \u2063ages, including children.

In an era where technology and media\u2063 play an\u200c increasingly dominant role in children&#8217;s lives, Schlegel recognized the importance of \u2062safeguarding their innocence.
