Tim Walz Signed Law Protecting Pedophiles from Discrimination?

No Protection for Pedophiles

In a previous fact-check on the same topic from PolitiFact, published in May 2023 when Walz signed the Take Pride Act, legal experts confirmed that the law would not protect pedophiles from discrimination in any way.

"No court in the country has or would ever say that a law protecting people from discrimination based on their sexual orientation extends to protecting pedophilia," Brian Soucek, a law professor at the University of California, Davis, told PolitiFact.
