I am not asking for a correction. I am asking that social justice and race-based "propaganda" be left OUT of kids programming. I am not talking about black history, I am not talking about accepting each other as unique, I am not talking about any of those healthy and wholesome topics. I am referring specifically to BLM and race-based political ideologies (which are tools of division) that are designed to amplify our kids differences rather than their commonalities. This type of programming is not going to bring us together, it will do quite the opposite. These segments are teaching racism, disunity, and skin color awareness. They are putting skin color front and center to children who would otherwise never even care. I found it particularly appalling that certain cartoons are specifically including segments on current news and political affairs, These are not topics that belong in the classroom or on PBSKIDS. Just because the current corp news zeitgeist paints America as racist, does not make it so. Just STOP.
Politics in kids programming PBSKIDS (BLM, Racism, and Skin Color....) WHY??
