Critics Accuse Sesame Street of ‘Anti-Conservative Bias’

This is crazy to the 12th power. I cannot believe the nonsense that continues to come from 'fox news'. I am not sure how they are still called a news station. Sesame Street is guilty of helping me teach my child about sharing and dreaming and playing nice with others. As well as, recognizing the beauty in who he is as a child. This is just utter foolishness to me.

Some conservative talking heads have stooped to a new low and are going after Sesame Street, according to The Hollywood Insider. In this latest and laughable chapter of America’s culture wars, panelists on conservative Sean Hannity’s Fox News talk show argued that the beloved kids show actually dumbs down black and Latino youth and promotes so-called “anti-conservative discrimination” because it encourages parents to use gender neutral pronouns.

Author Ben Shapiro appeared on Hannity’s show to publicize his new book” Primetime Propoganda”, which he says reveals liberal bias in Hollywood. “I kinda wanna take ‘em outside and cap ‘em,” Shapiro disgustingly joked to Hannity. “I went and spoke to the biggest creators in TV over the last 50 years and had them admit to me on tape that yes, they bias their programming in a liberal direction, they discriminate against conservatives in Hollywood.”

And then there’s this exchange, where Shapiro attempts to explain how Elmo is hurting America’s children:

Hannity: How is Elmo liberal?

Shapiro: I talked to one of the guys who was originally at Children’s Television Workshop originally, and he said that the whole purpose of Sesame Street was to cater to black and Hispanic youths who don’t have reading literature in the house…if you go on the Sesame Street website, it talked about ‘when you’re bringing up your child, make sure that you use gender neutral language. Make sure that you give your boys dolls and make sure that you give your girls firetrucks.
