How would you feel if we lived in a world without Sesame Street?

[Still-alive]

Thats right. If Trump wins and project 2025 becomes reality you can say goodbye to big bird, elmo, the count, bert ernie, oscar, cookie monster, grover… all of them!

That would be terrible!

Good. f*** sesame street!

I would be sad but could live without it

my kids would be very sad :(

My thoughts and opinions: I think we are missing the bigger picture, Elmo & Big Bird & others are just puppets…. When Trump takes office it will have an impact on real life beings.

Now I want to say this, “The writers describe the PBS audience as identifying as mostly leftist and promoting leftist ideas, so according to them, it has to go.” Is stupid PBS has always been a ‘center’ TV program. Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood could be seen as ‘WOKE’ in the narrow mindset of these goons when it taught children valuable lessons also to not judge a book by its cover.
Sesame Street simply shows diversity, life struggles, communicate feelings & emotions in a healthy responsible respectful way, and friendship. I honestly don’t need to say more. Finding Your Roots is about heritage, history, and having it come alive with real life breathing people with an ancestry rich in culture & heritage & strong family history.

[Still-alive]

yes i know the bigger picture. but this is like the heart of American values right here for children. and the monsters trying to take it away deserve to be put on blast for this.

[MisterWack]

@Still-alive Yeah I know, I know and my message advocates for that. I suggest you focus on the part of ‘Finding Your Roots’, ‘Mr. Rodgers’, and ‘Sesame Street’. All those aren’t leftist or rightist it is the heart of American values as you accurately hit on the head. They 100% should be on blast.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

This would be horrible for anyone (Kids, Parents, etc.)

[mandyfire98]

Sesame Street is now leftist subliminal propaganda I guess. Haha

This conspiracy shit is going wild. We have to do something about mental illness. Next thing people are gonna say that the moon isn't real and is just a satellite up there promoting leftist ideas.

[goaded]

Anything that teaches empathy and decency is. Maybe even maths.

[MisterWack]

Exactly, you said it best.
To just negate truth, science, accuracy, and knowledge also promotion of kindness, thoughtfulness, logic, open-mindfulness and use it as a deflection term of ‘woke’ or ‘leftist’ or ‘anti-american values’ is sickening.

[purplepoppy]

Hasn't been shown in the UK for about 25 years. We only really know of it through Americans referencing it and memes, it's the show we've all heard of but never seen

[menina]

I've never watched "Sesame Street" but this sounds sad. How come a kid's show promotes "leftist ideas"?

This is getting worse and worse... 😬😬🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

[Still-alive]

All it teaches is how to spell, count, read and treat each other with respect and love. Is that really woke? If it is then im woke too lol 😂

[menina]

That's ridiculous! If that's the case I'm also woke 😂😂

[llorando]

As someone who's never watched it, I would be sad for others but could live without it.

[Still-alive]

do you have kids yet?

[llorando]

No, but I have a couple nieces, but they have never watched Sesame Street and are past the age range of viewers. But like I said, I would be sad for others who do watch it. Just because I could live with out it, doesn't mean I believe others can't, public broadcasting is very important to me.

[goaded]

My mother was most embarrassed when I said "zee" at the opticians.

Sesame Street is awesome, and always has been.

[goaded]

The Muppets were similarly great.

[DrPepper12]

PBS is a national treasure. It airs what others won't find profitable.

[electromagnetic]

Sesame Street is loved by everyone.

[Still-alive]

yeah imagine the monsters who try to take that away from us

[RebelinSteel]

Zero change, we don’t get it.

[Still-alive]

can you be sad for your American friends if we do lose it?

[goaded]

They've stopped showing it in the UK? Shame.

[RebelinSteel]

@goaded I never knew they showed it tbh.

[goaded]

It was a long time ago. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sesame_Street_in_the_UK

[RebelinSteel]

@goaded yeah also ITV means it was just small areas

[goaded]

Most, if not all of the UK, but before your time!

[RebelinSteel]

@goaded I think it would have been black n white

[Still-alive]

it was in black and white for a time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnlymjXG1_c

[RebelinSteel]

So how did they know it was a yellow bird and not a black bird?

[Still-alive]

I guess they didn't. eventually they did get color though. and im not sure but i think in some regions they did get color even in the beginning while other areas didn't

[goaded]

We didn't get a colour TV until ages (probably weeks, I was maybe 6) after our neighbours.
