Department of Education Eliminates Grant for PBS Children’s Shows (1 Viewer)

[CaughtInThe]

MAGA is so gross.

Indeed

 

[Old 'N Chill]

There's no need for education in the MAGAsphere.

The traitor will learn 'em all they need to know.

 

[The AntiDonald]

But the Democrats message about showing how terrible is Project 2025 was lousy.
And when Trump and his minions denied it, their message was a lot clearer than Democrats muddled message.

Wasn't muddled to me. It was muddled to MAGAs I'm sure as they refused to listen. I paid close attention as soon as I heard about it. A lot of good that did anyone.

 

[Ikari]

The traitor will learn 'em all they need to know.

We'll have an education system like North Korea.

 

[Cosmo]

God forbid - I got plenty of exercise and still found time to watch Sesame Street and Electric Company.

There's infinite free shit to watch on YouTube and the like. Do we need to funnel government money into children's shows?

 

[Cosmo]

It's almost like you have no kids and/or idea how to balance things.

It's almost like people never heard of YouTube or the internet and need the government to figure out kids' home entertainment for them in 2025.

Yes.

 

[Cosmo]

Yes.

Why?

 

[NolanVoyd]

Why?

Because quality educational programming for kids is very important and cannot be replaced by crappy youtube junk.

There is a shitload of education stuff on YouTube.

Also is K-12 not enough?

 

[NuffSaid]

Yep, those are educational with characters that have been known for generations that parents can rely on.

Are these the same parents that need free child care because free K-12 just isn't enough as they can't be bothered to watch their own kids?

 

[NolanVoyd]

There is a shitload of education stuff on YouTube.

Nothing like Sesame Street.

You in favor of the dumbing down of America?

Also is K-12 not enough?

No.

Not nearly enough.

Obviously.

Why are you worried about paying for Sesame street?

 

[NuffSaid]

Are these the same parents that need free child care because free K-12 just isn't enough as they can't be bothered to watch their own kids?

What?
Who can’t be bothered to watch their kids?
You saying that parents who allow their kids to watch PBS don’t watch their kids but parents who allow their kids to watch YouTube do watch their kids?

Makes no sense.

 

[Cosmo]

If liberal parents can't figure out how to get by without government-funded Sesame Street, I think the public education system has already dumbed them down.

No.

If 12 years isn't enough, I doubt Sesame Street is gonna make or break anything. Time for some serious efficiency improvements in the education system including lots and lots of firings.

Not nearly enough.

Obviously.

Why are you worried about paying for Sesame street?

I didn't even realize it was government funded. Just one of those things I didn't realize I wanted to cut off from government funding.

 

[Cosmo]

What?
Who can’t be bothered to watch their kids?

People that need government TV shows to parent their kids for them.

You saying that parents who allow their kids to watch PBS don’t watch their kids but parents who allow their kids to watch YouTube do watch their kids?

Makes no sense.

Who said liberal parents can't get by......?

If 12 years isn't enough,

Who said 12 years isn't enough?

Why do you constantly lie about what I say.

Quote me saying either if those things or apologize for lying.

Your going to save three cents a year at what cost?

DOGE is the epitome of "Penny wise and pound foolish".

[ModernDiogenes]

Trump cancelled Elmo and Big Bird?

That’s just wrong.

That’s a cut too far. They’ve gone and done it now.

 

[Cosmo]

You're pushing for this government-funded "education programming." That implies K-12 education isn't enough.

DOGE is the epitome of "Penny wise and pound foolish".

Why?

Because I think government should get involved where necessary and generally govern less when possible, and I don't think government-funded Sesame Street is a necessity.

 

[NolanVoyd]

You're pushing for this government-funded "education programming."

yes, because it is good. Truly American. And costs the taxpayers pennies.

That implies K-12 education isn't enough.

No it doesnt.

dont mske stuff up.

Because I think government should get involved where necessary and generally govern less when possible,

Sesame Street isnt "governing".

and I don't think government-funded Sesame Street is a necessity.

Who said it was a necessity?

 

[Cosmo]

yes, because it is good. Truly American. And costs the taxpayers pennies.

No it doesnt.

dont mske stuff up.

Sesame Street isnt "governing".

Who said it was a necessity?

You did.

 

[NolanVoyd]

You did.

Silly.

Saying we should continue doing good, cost effective, things is not saying those things are a necessity.

If you said "do I need to continue brushing my teeth every morning?" I would say yes, you should. Its good.

That doesn't mean brushing your teeth is a "necessity". You will live if you dont.

You wrote what you wrote and I posted the picture for you as proof. Writing something else later doesn't unmake another statement by you. In other words, you're backpedaling.

You wrote that. I said yes ( we should keep doing it).

 

[Cosmo]

You wrote that. I said yes ( we should keep doing it).

Except the question you responded "Yes" to asked if we need it, not if we should keep doing it.
