Has it come to this now or is it a continuation of the Bert and Ernie rumors?

Dunno about Bert and Ernie, but I saw an episode about three years ago (when my son was about three) in which they were showing a musical montage about families. Lots of diversity — mom & dad with their kids; mom and her kids; dad & dad and kids. Just another normal variation on the family theme. We haven’t allowed Sesame Street on ever since.

I’m sure other Freepers could give lots of other examples of PBS’ liberal bias.

Unfortunately, it’s apparently no longer sufficient for PBS to educate kids about colors, numbers, the alphabet. Now they want to push a social agenda — sometimes overtly, sometimes subtly.

In my day, we used to watch Electric Company with Rita Moreno jumpstarting the show with her “Hey you guys!!!!” yell. Nowadays? She’d be censored by PBS for her insensitively patriarchal male-centric use of the word “guys.” Sigh.
