Arthur's Mr. Ratburn Comes Out as Gay, Gets Married in Season 22 Premiere
TVLine ^ | May 13, 2019 | Andy Swift

Here are two things you probably didn’t know: First, the animated children’s series Arthur is still on the air, entering its 22nd season on PBS Kids. Second, Arthur’s teacher — the well-read, well-dressed, well-liked Mr. Ratburn — is gay.

The news comes out in Monday’s premiere, titled “Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone,” in which Arthur and his pals are shocked to discover that Mr. Ratburn is engaged — mostly because they refuse to accept that their teachers actually have lives outside of school. “When they go home, they sharpen pencils, eat kale and dream up homework assignments,” Buster insists. “They don’t even sleep! They just go into low-power mode and watch documentaries.”

Homosexuals should not be allowed anywhere near children. Ever.

This social engineering shit is getting real old. The “Love that dare not speak its name” now refuses to shut the f**k up.

Barf.

In the interest of teaching children good morals perhaps Arthur can learn how to put a condom on a banana?

“Defund PBS.”

Agreed - along with NEA, NEH, etc. This should have been done a long time ago.

I have no problem with the arts and humanities. But there’s no frickin’ reason taxpayers should be on the hook for any of it.

An artist - and even a TV station - should live and die on is merits and by the people who care about it.

Always hated this effeminate PC show. The addition of perverts is redundant.

Democrats are evil scum.

I saw enough Arthur working for a PBS member station.

The show, like all others, would pass through on the different PBS satellite channels.

Every now and then, a bit of it was worth watching but that was over 10 years ago or so.

Pull the plug.

They’re waiting for C3PO and R2D2 to come out of the closet first.

Not to mention this after Ernie told Rubber Duckie that he was "the one."

I’m not even going into “rubber ducky” euphemisms!
