ERLC calls for investigation of Fox programs

LOS ANGELES — Fifteen organizations known for their support of traditional family values have written to the Federal Communications Commission chairman seeking an investigation of programs of Fox Broadcasting Co. such as “Boston Public.” Among those is  Southern Baptist Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC).

The groups believe the network’s programs suggest an “out­rageous flouting of the FCC’s decency regulations.” They cited past episodes of “Boston Public,” a drama about a public high school in Boston, that have included story lines involving oral sex, stripping and a sexual affair between a student and a teacher.

Joining teh ERLC in signing the letter are Focus on the Family, National Association of Evangelicals, Morality in Media, Christian Coalition, Family Research Council and Concerned Women for America.
