The Issue

As a community member who values God, family, decency, and the innocence of children, I believe our public spaces should remain safe and appropriate for all ages. Lewisville, TX, is a wonderful place to raise a family, but recently, there have been instances where public decency has been challenged, especially in environments where children are present.

While everyone deserves freedom of expression, there are clear boundaries that must be respected, particularly within family-oriented settings. Allowing adults to wear nothing but a thong in such public spaces sends the wrong message, exposes children to inappropriate displays, and undermines our community standards of respect and modesty. 

In many cases, public spaces like public sidewalks, public parks, and public playgrounds should be maintained as zones of comfort and safety for families. Therefore, it's crucial that we establish clear guidelines to protect minors from exposure to indecent attire and behavior.

Studies show that consistent exposure to inappropriate displays can affect a child's development and understanding of societal norms. According to child development experts, children are impressionable and can become confused or distressed when confronted with adult themes too early. We must ensure that our community is a safe haven where families can enjoy without worry.

We propose the implementation of an ordinance in Lewisville, TX, that sets standards for appropriate attire in public spaces, specifically those frequented by families and children. This ordinance should reflect our community’s values of decency and respect for individuals of all ages.

By taking action, we can uphold the essence of our family-friendly environment and ensure that children are not subjected to indecent exposure. Join us in urging local authorities to draft and enforce stricter public decency laws.

Sign this petition to protect the innocence of our children and to reinforce the values that make Lewisville a great community for families. Let us make our public spaces enjoyable and appropriate for everyone. ***CLARIFICATION: THIS PETITION MAKES NO ATTEMPT IN ANY WAY TO RESTRICT ONE FROM WEARING SWIMWEAR WITHIN THE CONFINES OF AN EXPECTED, APPROPRIATE SETTING SUCH AS POOLS, BEACHES, LAKES, ETC. THIS PETITION AIMS SOLELY TO PREVENT ADULTS FROM WEARING THONGS THAT EXPOSE THEIR BUTTOCKS TO THE PUBLIC ON PUBLIC SIDEWALKS, PUBLIC PARKS, AND PUBLIC PLAYGROUNDS. Thongs being worn anywhere (near bodies of water) that parents could reasonably be expected, in advance, to understand that their children will see adult adults wearing suggestive clothing BEFORE seeing adults wearing suggestive clothing is not what I am opposing.***

 Thank you for your attention to this matter!
