NOT shocking. But our tax dollars at work.
That’s too bad. My younger daughter loved the show and I thought the stories were well done and not patronizing to kids. Looks like all that is down the crapper.
All the more reason we need to defeat as many Demonrats in November as possible (preferably ALL of them) and quit giving money to these liberal bastions of propaganda...PBS, NPR, etc.........
Used to watch it with my niece when she was little but in flipping channels some years ago I realized it had underlying agenda of helping program kids toward leftist views. was sad to realize that.
Arthur is bad, but Callou was the worst. Enough to make one hate the Canadians.
That show was flat-out leftist propaganda.
This show has gotten so bad, Christopher Cross has apologized for singing the theme. He said he’ll never do a song about aardvarks ever again.
I am a bit familiar with the Callou character but didn't watch any of the shows. How was this one worse than Arthur?
The clip in discussion : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrNnk0wFBnCS1awGjq_ijGQ
Generally the same left wing Canadian propaganda, but aimed at younger children and using human characters. Pushing ‘diversity’, environmentalism, and the rest of the Trudeauesque mantra. As I recall, Callou had more of the French influence than did Arthur, which was from Anglophone Canada.
Don’t know if it was the Canadians who ruined Arthur, especially considering it was the original creator, Marc Brown, who apparently pushed for Mr. Ratburn to be made gay and then tried to outright shame Arkansas and Alabama for daring to ban the episode from airing.
Really stopped liking Arthur especially when the running gag of Arthur denouncing Mary Moo Cow as a baby show pretty much left me paranoid at shows I used to love. Didn’t help either that even before the... Ratburn incident, let alone the BLM promotion of this webisode, there’s some elements that indicated they’ve gone off the rails (I remember seeing a clip where Francine’s Cat was talking about trying to find Nadine in a context that indicated she actually existed IRL, despite the fact that Nadine was supposed to be D.W.’s imaginary friend, ie, fictional in-universe, non-existent in other words.).
