Actually this wasn't uncommon in the 80's. There was a delibrate battle to preseent the children with subversive messages through their entertainment.
Smurfs was Communism, He-man was homosexuality, visionaries was drug abuse, GI-Joe was better but it pushed globalism.
The only real attempt to instill children with American values was found in the form of...

Transformers is the reason we have ANY conservatives who grew up in the 80's.
How about Voltron? That definitely had monarchist undertones to it. ;-)
Smurfs was Communism, He-man was homosexuality, VH1's "I love the 80s" show just did a hilarious bit on He-man.
GI-Joe was better but it pushed globalism.
Other than the willingness of GI Joe to ignore national sovreignty while combatting COBRA...how was this pushing globalism?
