Official Criticizes a PBS Cartoon (PBS creates cartoon with lesbian characters for children)

Education Secretary Margaret Spellings denounced PBS on Tuesday for spending public money on a cartoon with lesbian characters, saying many parents would not want children exposed to such lifestyles.

The episode of "Postcards From Buster," which has not yet run, shows the title character, a bunny named Buster, on a trip to Vermont, a state that recognizes same-sex civil unions. The episode features two lesbian couples, although the focus is on farm life and maple sugaring.

A PBS spokesman said late Tuesday that the nonprofit organization had decided not to distribute the episode, "Sugartime!," to its 349 stations but that the Education Department's objections were not a factor in that decision.

I was watching the first episode of "Who Gets the Dog" on Animal Planet the other night. Three "families" were competing for the cute little Hugs. One couple was soon to be married, one couple was married and had a little girl, and one couple--well these two ladies were called "roommates". I told my mom at the beginning--"the lesbos will be awarded the dog." Well guess who got the dog. My mom was amazed at my psycic abilities. At least it wasn't, "Who gets the Kid?" Fox will probably be running that program next season.

..so WGBH carries the LESBIAN message and some San Francisco PBS staff carries the other type..?

Liberal NewSpeak in action. They make so many definitions of the word family', that 'family' soon has no definition.
