Did you know that schools across Colorado are using educational research databases that target children with advertisements for online gambling, vaping, marijuana, alcohol, guns, and even adult content?
This is happening right now—inside classrooms, through school-issued devices, and on platforms trusted by parents and teachers. These embedded ads are designed to blend in with educational material, making it nearly impossible for children to recognize when they’re being manipulated. Our kids go online to learn, but instead, they’re being exposed to dangerous content that could impact their health, safety, and future.
This is unacceptable. No child should be a target for corporate profit.
That’s why we need HB25-1158: Digital Education Materials. This critical bill will:
- Hold vendors accountable for harmful advertising in school-approved digital tools.
- Ensure children are protected from predatory marketing tactics.
- Protect teachers and schools from liability when dangerous content reaches students.
- Stop taxpayer dollars from funding platforms that exploit kids for profit.
We need to act NOW to protect Colorado’s children.
SIGN THIS PETITION to demand that our legislators pass HB25-1158 and put an end to the digital exploitation of our kids. Let’s send a clear message: schools should be safe spaces for learning, not playgrounds for corporate greed.
