Ah, but, as Marshall Mcluhan said, “The medium is the message.”

So, all those fat cat rich execs that make millions off of the Sesame Street characters can be “forgiven” by the left because of the message they send. Like Ben and Jerry’s.

I have always thought of Sesame St. as creepy and the absolute WRONG way to teach kids anything.

Compare the SAT scores of the Sesame Street generation to those of the Bugs Bunny/Road Runner generation.

I raised 6 kids without Sesame Street. I have always thought it contributed to the ADD problem. It goes from one thing to another to another without let up leaving no time to reflect, absorb etc.... Just my personal opinion.
