"Protect the children" is the new "fight terror". Big empty phrases that only end up taking away rights and targeting minorities.
True, but not new. It's been this since before "fight terror" in fact.
"The war on drugs" has entered the chat
Won't someone please think of the children?!
If I recall correctly, that began because white men were afraid that non-white men would rape their wives. I'm not exactly sure how banning drugs was supposed to help, though.
