Question 8 • FL-2106020-M/J Civics Advanced Q2 Teacher-Led Remediation

Parents are complaining about offensive imagery on television during the early morning hours when children are watching television. What commission should they go to, and what is the commission's role (regulate, administrate, or implement) in fixing the problem?

Answer

Answer:

These parents should go to the Federal Communications Commission, also known as the FCC. The FCC is in charge of any offensive material broadcast over the television, radio, or wire. The function of the FCC is regulatory, which means it is responsible for overseeing compliance with policies as well as creating new policies.
