It sounds like the PTA may be splitting from the increasingly over-zealous National Institute on Media and the Family.

The latest schism was sparked by the Computer Game Report Card, released Wednesday by NIMF. In the press release, which calls for a junking of the Entertainment Software Rating Board s rating system, NIMF went ahead and said that the PTA was onboard with the idea of trashing the system.

The PTA says not only is that not true, but that the National PTA doesn t endorse NIMF s report and does not agree with the reports characterization of ESRB and its rating system."

National PTA works with groups like the ESRB to provide information about the rating system to assist parents and children so they can make an informed decision in purchase and game play. National PTA continues to ensure parents are informed and retailers enforce the rules.

So, in fact, the PTA seems to support the ESRB rating system.
First NIMF distances itself from John Thompson, then the PTA distances itself from NIMF. I love a fractured enemy.
