2000 National Political Awareness Test: on Families & Children

Scott Howell: Restrict minors' access to TV, movies, and Internet

A: Yes. As a state senator, I utilized my powers to promote parental responsibility and societal concern towards the entertainment impact upon Utah's children. Through a resolution I passed, I was able to motivate local theaters to enforce restrictive ratings on movies. Another resolution I passed urges television networks to air violent programs only late at night. I also passed SB 243 (Minor's Access to Harmful Material on the Internet) amending provisions defining "material harmful to minors" to include material available through the Internet.

David McReynolds: No moral and ethical decline since 1960s

Gary Bauer: Pro-marriage & virtue; anti-porn & Hollywood promiscuity

John Hagelin: Better education & development to reduce juvenile crime

Hagelin supports the following principles regarding juvenile crime:
• Funding for local Boys & Girls Clubs & programs for at-risk youth
• Job services for at-risk youth.
• Hagelin supports “more effective educational programs to keep children in school, off the streets, and out of the reach of crime; urban revitalization and community policing; and programs shown to reduce violence by decreasing anxiety, hostility, and anger and improving psychological development and moral reasoning.”
