I don’t know that Sesame Street is such a subversive, government-controlled, awakened monster that aims to brainwash our children during the most vulnerable period of their lives.
At least this is the conclusion I got after watching the political comments of Matt Shrap, Chairman of the Conservative Political Action Committee and Senator Ted Cruz of the United States of America.
As a middle-aged man, I haven’t watched an episode of Sesame Street in 52 years.My kids haven’t seen it in 18 years
Obviously, in the past 52 years, I have missed a lot of destabilizing propaganda… If you believe that the anger of these two politicians is exaggerated. If you listen to them, I shouldn’t worry about climate change, the new crown virus epidemic, the January 6 riots or other global threats.
No no…I need to support Big Bird and Ji-Young.
After the radical poultry dared to say that he was vaccinated against COVID-19, Senator Cruz accused Big Bird of carrying out “government propaganda.” After introducing the new puppet role, Mr. Schrapp called for the cancellation of any government funding for Sesame Street. Yi-Young is,<喘氣！>, Korean American.
I don’t want to explain Mr. Shrap’s anger. These are some of his comments.
What race is Ernie, Bert (sic)? You are crazy PBS, we should stop funding you.
We all like Bert and Ernie, but don’t have the most vague idea of the racial population they might represent. After all, Ernie is orange. Taxpayers deserve a large tax refund. If PBS and NPR want to arm themselves in the socialist movement, they need to pay for it themselves.
Sesame Street Twitter introduces Zhiying
I have to face the real possibility: I have not watched children’s TV shows in decades, which makes me think that Sesame Street only cares about the health and welfare of our children.
The entire period of “growth” in my life may lead me astray. I may need to re-evaluate some of my general views on Sesame Street. Once you enter this rabbit hole, you will get a variety of revelations.
Elmo only refers to himself in the third person, such as “Elmo likes to paint!” I didn’t know that Sesame Street intentionally promotes narcissistic behavior.
The big bird is a six-foot-tall bird, walking around on Sesame Street. There are no enclosures, no permits to hold wild animals. Obviously, Sesame Street is promoting anarchy on the streets.
Oscar is homeless and lives in the trash can. Has the sanitation department been notified? What if the sanitation vehicle accidentally throws Oscar into the garbage dump? Who is responsible?
The cookie monster only eats cookies. What kind of information does this convey to our children about our dietary needs? I asked Sesame Street to have the same time and they introduced a new character called “Salad Beast”.
I can continue. But I just want to say, Mr. Schrapp and Senator Cruz, you have my full support. You have been criticizing children’s education programs. I mean, this is why we voted for you, right?
