I have always hated Sesame Street, right from it’s beginnings in the late 60s, early 70s. This is when I was a “liberal”, a leftist, and I still hated it. There is so much wrong with Sesame Street that it would take a long dissertation to cover it all.

hear, hear! i agree... my sons never watched Sesame Street... actually they never watched any of the PBS programming... before i became a mother, i sort of assumed they would watch Sesame Street and the other PBS showss... however, once i became a mom, i realized i had full control over what my babies were exposed to, and no--we did not have to do what just about everybody else does...

i find Sesame Street to be artificial--in everything it teaches... from social thinking to social skills--to basic academics like letter sounds and counting numbers... so frankly, i don't really care what happens on Sesame Street, even though my tax dollars help support it... i feel the same about government schools since we don't use them...

none of my kids watched any of the PBS shows and especially seasame street.
I’ve just asked my 15 year old boy and he just told me it was freaky.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In some states the bill for each chid per year is well over $10,000, citizens should care. You, and the rest of us, are paying for all that waste.
