Jim Dyke Parents Quotations

Some activists will only see another opportunity to push government as parent, but parents make the best decisions about what is appropriate for their family to watch and have the tools to enforce those decisions.

Parents relying on ubiquitous and user-friendly technology, ratings information and their own good judgment to manage TV is (sic) the best approach, not increased government control, regardless of whether the program is Yosemite Sam, the Road Runner or a scene from a show clearly intended for adults.

When the TV comes back on, parents can control what their family sees before it hits the TV screen. Generations of parents relied on the off button or changed the channel when they saw programs that weren't right for their family. Now parents have even more options, like the v-chip, ratings, cable or satellite blocking programs, to limit what comes up on your TV.

They want the government to enforce what they believe is quality television. Parents ought to make that decision.
