It was a big day for the kids in Mr. Ratburn’s grade-school class — and, by extension, the children (and parents) who watch the long-running PBS Kids series Arthur. In today’s Season 22 premiere of the animated show, Arthur and his friends learn that their teacher Mr. Ratburn was going to be married.

What none of them was expecting is that he is tying the knot with an aardvark named Patrick.

The episode, titled “Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone,” shows the teacher taking a cell phone call while preparing to hand out a pop quiz on homework.

another reason to not give to PBS and to demand federal government stop funding this crap.

Oh, if there is a fund drive, you might want to call the place, but just to refuse to give. Tying up phone lines might keep the donations down, I am not sure.

During the fund drives, the PBS outlet from Watertown, NY we get up in my locale usually rolls out the same awful programming over and over (aimed at the retirement hone sect) and that’s been enough to keep me from donating.

” . . . that he is tying the knot with an aardvark named Patrick.”

Well, they did say it would lead to bestiality.

PBS, socialist/progressive from its birth. No surprise here.

Thanks again, Mitch McConnell, for fully funding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting once again.

That they are. My kids loved that show when they were little. I would have been livid.

As a kid, I watched Arthur, but it isn't learning the ABCs it is for indoctrination of LIBERAL IDEAS! Defund PBS (Public Bull 💩)

We can’t just entertain kids without trying to shove “woke” progressivism down their throats?

I rather miss Captain Kangaroo, The Mickey Mouse Club, and Kukla, Fran, and Ollie.

Hate to break it to you, but you will be hard pressed to find any child’s show without homosexuality in it anymore.... Been that way for a decade or more now.

Loud House... main characters best friend has 2 dads, and one of his sisters they “out” by having an entire episode about her liking “Sam”... only to find out at the very end Sam is short for Samantha.

PBS is actually WAY behind the curve on this stuff.
