Yet you think you made a point claimimg that you never hear your students talking about it. What was that supposed to signify?
Ai yi yi. I DO support Sesame Street. LOL!

What you're missing is that Republicans don't want Marxists dictating how THEIR children will be raised. Since you are against dictating how children are to be raised, you should be able to understand that.Because Sesame Street is in the way of MAGAs dictating how other peoples' children will be raised.
Who controls those republican televisions? They are free to block those channels. The government is not the parents of those peoples' kids, right?What you're missing is that Republicans don't want Marxists dictating how THEIR children will be raised.

Did you teach preschool?By the way, I don’t think in my 20 years of teaching I have ever heard a kid talk about watching Sesame Street.

The difference is that MAGA wants to remove the element of choice.
Conveniently the amounts of the Canadian payments to Sesame workshop, a private corporation, aren't publicly available. For all we know the payments.could be $1 per year.We bought the rights to air it in the seventies. What, you think we're up here pirating sesame street? Lol

From the time I was a little kid, I never did get the point of Sesame Street. I'm not convinced this is a core educational resource that has an inalienable right to government funding. I mean, does the government fund Wikipedia? Does it pay for free AI programs that a kid can ask any question any time? Then why should it pay for a puppet show just because it reminds some old folks of their childhood?
What really worries me with this is that the Trump administration never treats anything like an exercise in political theory. If they cut PBS funding, it doesn't mean they want to take the government out of subsidizing media. It probably means they hate PBS, and a cut in funding today will be followed by a revocation of their tax-free status two weeks from now, a bogus lawsuit in a month, a law meant to criminalize Bert and Ernie's friendship next month, a set of regulations to force a rewrite to any children's show episode that uses the phrase "Gulf of Mexico", and so on, until they fire everybody in charge of the show and replace them with Trump's grandcousin and Ben-Gvir's ex-wife. I hope I'm wrong ... remind me to keep score in two months.
Right, you can only respond with childish name calling but I am stupid for pointing out the amount of Canadian payments are kept secret. Nonsense.You got caught saying something stupid, then you double down and say something even more stupid?
Bud, why do you engage with me, it never goes well for you...

Bud, why do you think name calling is intelligent discussion?

I feel a tear forming. I note the absence of any attempt to engage in intelligent discussion on your part.Bud... let me be clear, for what I hope will be the last time I need to say this. I do not take you seriously because of the lack of intelligence in your content, and your refusal to engage in good faith discussions. Find someone else to bother. I'm just not that into you.
? That's what you get from Trump pulling funding from PBS? It's not about removing choice, it's mainly about cutting waste. But also because our tax dollars are being used to push a leftist viewpoint, which should not be the case. It's not about killing Sesame Street, PBS can survive without Federal money, and should.Who controls those republican televisions? They are free to block those channels.

Tell me again what their annual funding is?? That's what you get from Trump pulling funding from PBS? It's not about removing choice, it's mainly about cutting waste.
I have issues with the bill myself, but that has nothing to do with the subject. PBS doesn't need Federal funding, and we don't need to pay for it. We have to start cutting somewhere, this seems like an easy choice.While shoving a bill that adds close to $4 Tn to the debt.
How about we instead cut Elon Musk's subsidies for Space X? That's a shit ton more money, and his shit just blows up anyway.I have issues with the bill myself, but that has nothing to do with the subject.

You must be highly regarded in your communityGood, make people pay to watch gay puppets.
Reps burn books because most of them can't read. Golden Boy himself declared to us all he does not like to read unless it's a fast food menu.What you're missing is that Republicans don't want Marxists dictating how THEIR children will be raised.
