parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that the forums on this activism site lend themselves to heated exchanges, but they are moderated well. Flames are deleted promptly. The ideas and opinions expressed on the site are not necessarily pro-American, which might challenge some viewers.
Educational value:
A politically aware teen could learn a lot here about how global community works on a person-by-person scale, while a non-politically aware teen might change their world view.
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
There is nothing explicit or implicit on the site, though the potential exists for sex-related topics on the forums. Abortion, for instance, could be discussed.
Language:
The site does not use strong language, and forum participants are discouraged from using profanity. Still, the occasional four-letter word can slip through.
Consumerism:
There are no ads and no products, only partners that provide some content. These show up in a box called Partner Spotlight or in a "sponsored by" line with the content.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
The site takes an active anti-tobacco stance with its Tobacco Card Game.
