Three agencies are teaming up with Sesame Street to prepare school children for the new threat of the H1N1 virus.

The White House announced Tuesday morning that the Homeland Security, Education, and Health and Human Services departments are enlisting the help of Elmo and Gordon from the long-running educational show to teach children how to avoid H1N1, also know as the swine flu.

President Barack Obama is scheduled to meet with the secretaries of those three agencies and other administration officials later Tuesday afternoon to discuss the threat.

Elmo, Gordon, the Sesame Workshop and the federal agencies will try to teach children, through public service announcements, steps they can take to prevent contracting or spreading the potentially deadly flu strain.

May be a new way to funnel money to PBS, which is having serious funding problems. Still, better they coach how to wash and where to sneeze than “Heather Has Two Mommies”.

'I wonder how they’ll use this to push for socialized medicine via our children."

They'd like to have the kids begging their parents to let them have the Flu Shots!!!

Why this sudden attempt of Obama/governemtn talking directly to our children & by-passing parents?

Health Care Reform is like Mr. Snuffleupagus. Only Obama can see it, and the rest of us thinks it's imaginary!

Yeah, it's what he does when things go bad ... Narcissistic personality people react this way to deflect blame.

And if ever there were a more arrogant narcissist, I haven't seen him.

I think he is trying to gin up pig flu panic.

I keep my daughter away from Sesamee Street...she gets bored with it anyway. All you hear on there is a bunch of P.C. junk. It isn’t what it was in the 70s and 80s that is for sure.

She now is a faithful watcher of the amazing network Noggin.

This was the point I wanted to make with this thread other than the normal lunacy of Obama.

Sounds like more of program to “condition” people, than it does to educate them. This isn’t the first time this strain has made the rounds.
