Just caught a brief segment of a PBS kids show this morning called "Read Between the Lions". It is a show styled much like Sesame Street and promotes literacy and reading.
I do not watch much TV and do not know if this is typical of PBS kids programming, but thought it was worth passing along.
When I saw what appeared to be Dr. Ruth interacting with another character on the show, it got my attention. It sounded like her. Then the puppet character called her Dr. Ruth.
Anyway, I may not be able to respond to questions or comments until late today.
The idea of the libs promoting their sex agenda to little children is offensive beyond words to me.
That's her. She's called Dr. Ruth Wordheimer
Between the Lions is a pretty good show. It doesn't really do much social promotion like Sesame Street does now, it reminds me of the way SS used to be... promoting reading and education.
THAT IS WHY YOU MUST MONITOR WHAT YOUR CHILDREN WATCH ON TV!!! YOU WOULD BE AMAZED AT THE LIBERAL PROPOGANDA!!!

You haven't stated what she (her character) said.
And, if you didn't hear it, in all fairness you need to hold off on judgement.
This does not surprise me in the least. I could not swear to it, but I am pretty sure that this vile creature has also been on Sesame Street.
Dr. Ruth Wordheimer is a regular character. Between the Lions is great, IMO. My kids really learned a lot about reading from that show.
We watch it fairly often, and I don't remember ever seeing politics or anything like that making an appearance.

Maybe you all ought to do a little research before you get hysterical. Sheesh.

Dr Ruth, on this show, may not do anything to promote this Agenda. But her mere presence is a way to open the door to later, more overt, efforts.
Her special field is making people feel good about sex. Her presence on a kids' show does not make sense.
NOthing she does on the show has anything to do with sex, and I don't think a child is going to know what her particular field is unless their parents tell them.
My kids think she is a funny little lady with a cute accent who knows cool stuff about words.
... way to open the door to later, more overt, efforts...

Sadly, I must concur.
Her special field is making people feel good about sex. Her presence on a kids' show does not make sense.
I've been reading Dr.Ruth's advice column on iVillage (not the most conservative place on the web...) and I think that she's not exactly the "free love" and "if it feels good, do it" advocate a lot of people think she is.
This is just an excerpt on what she had to say about Britney and her marriage exploits - very sound commentary in my opinion...
If Bert and Ernie were used to teach HS kids about homosexuality, it wouldn't fly -- because HS kids would be insulted if anyone used a muppet to teach them anything. You can't go in that direction. But you can go in the other direction.
Dr Ruth is the funny lady who teaches you how to read. Isn't she sweet? Then, in Jr HS, the Health Class watches videotapes on Human Sexuality. And -- my goodness! -- there's that great lady again! And -- wouldn't you know it! -- she's a respected medical professional! Boy, I remember how much I enjoyed watching her! And, what's that? She says that homosexuality is a healthy way for boys to get closer to their camp counselor? I dunno and that ... but, she is a medical professional. And she was right about that "i before e" rule. Maybe I should listen ...
