First step is to get them out of public school
Second, no social media. Kids get enough peer pressure during the school day, they don't need it 24/7.
This is what I did. Granted, the lunacy wasn't near as bad as it is today, but I was not going to have someone else raise my daughter. We home schooled her through eighth grade, and then she attended a very small private accredited Christian school. No live TV was allowed, no commercials, nothing that we didn't approve, until such time that we decided it was okay. She didn't have a smart phone until her senior year. No facebook, no twitter, no online presence whatsoever until she turned 18 and can decide for herself. So far, she has not chosen to participate in the social side of the web.
People got upset at my decision, but I knew even back then that the schools in our particular NW state were complete shit. It's your kid, and he gets exactly one chance to be a kid. It's up to you to protect them from that crap.

Never allow them to go to any LGBT event or other event without knowing what it is about.
I have 3 kids. I just can't afford private school for all of them. I wish I could!
