Arthur on PBS has been devolving at a rapid rate into a springboard for indoctrinating kids with the Liberal Progressive agenda. Last year they tried to convincing kids that was okay to be gay by featuring a gay rat wedding (but they failed to point out all the harms that come with choosing to be gay), and this year they’re trying to convince your kids to become Black Lives Matter activists.
YouTuber Nerdette’s Newstand did a 16 minute video breaking down how the show’s episode, titled Arthur on Racism: Talk, Listen, And Act, has gone completely off the rails in trying to recruit your kids into the Cultural Marxist fold that is BLM.
For those of you who have not seen the episode or need a brief rundown of what happened, basically Arthur video chats with his friend Buster about an unnamed video involving alleged brutality against a “black” person.
The two boys then video chat with the lunch lady Mrs. Macgrady, where she informs them that if they see something that’s wrong they have a moral obligation to act.
Yes, the show actively encourages kids to become activists. You can see the full three minute clip frm the PBS Kids YouTube channel below.
What they don’t talk about is how:
None of those facts are presented during the clip.
The show is essentially trying to inculcate kids into the Liberal Progressive fold; attempting to plant the seeds to become a riotous vandal and an uncultured swine.
Remember how they operate. They utilize the three ‘I’s: Infiltrate, Inculcate, Indoctrinate.
At this point they’re constantly trying to inculcate your kids with Cultural Marxist talking points to move them further Left and eventually get them indoctrinated enough to become Liberal Progressives, and then lure them further Left until they become outright Communists. This is all done through the application of Cultivation Theory.
Most people have already been brainwashed into accepting the Liberal Progressive agenda. People now think they need to fight for gay rights and trans rights, as well as slowly being weeded into accepting open borders, anarcho-Communist talking points (i.e., defunding the police), as well as the erasure of Western culture (i.e., tearing down historical statues, revising history, etc.,).
It appears as if it’s too late to reach the masses and wake them up to the subversion. It’s already been embedded into almost every aspect of our media and social networking.
Twitter and Facebook especially are especially culpable for fostering echo-chambers where only Liberal Progressive ideologies are allowed to grow and metastasize like some kind of unchecked cancer.
The only thing left for those of you who are aware of what’s going on is to watch what your kids watch; to be there and to actually parent. You need to ensure that your children aren’t being indoctrinated into becoming violent thugs and murderous looters who end up on the Traitors of America master list.
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.).
