Julia Letlow presses FCC for TV warnings on transgender content

EXCLUSIVE — Rep. Julia Letlow (R-LA) called on the Federal Communications Commission on Wednesday to implement new TV ratings flagging sexually sensitive content for children.

Letlow, who notably dealt a decisive blow to Sen. Bill Cassidy’s (R-LA) ambitions for reelection over the weekend, backed FCC Chairman Brendan Carr’s tentative proposal to reform television ratings, which could mandate disclosure of transgender themes or other gender identity topics in programming for children. As the mother of two young children and an active voice on parents’ rights issues in Congress, she sent a letter to Carr, warning she believes ideological content is being “quietly inserted” into children’s programming “without transparency.”
