It appears Sesame Street has a new initiative…
It’s brought to you by the letter P — for prison.
PBS’s “Sesame Street” is moving from ABCs and counting numbers to offering its young viewers a bigger lesson in life: how to cope when Mommy or Daddy lands behind bars.
Called “Little Children, Big Challenges: Incarceration,” the program is distributing “tool kits’’ to schools, community centers and even jails in 10 states — including New York — starting today to help kids ages 3 to 8, organizers said.

Unfrikkinbelievable… One wonders how much money ‘this’ is going to take…
What in the hell is going on with America???

By “normalizing” this, the Progressive Left continues its assault on America. They won’t be happy until the riots begin so they can declare martial law & incarcerate the conservatives.
Oops … did I say that out loud?
Progressives may counter this way: This is simply a means for the Obama Administration to prepare conservative children for the day when their conservative parents are hauled away to “the re-education camps”.
To be fair, a few years back Sesame Street did a program for kids with deployed parents, and returning wounded veterans.

It turns out that Elmo’s daddy-monster is an Army reservist or something like that.
Maybe this video about parents in prison is how they’re helping Elmo cope with his puppeteer going to prison for child molestation.
Tirno stole my thunder. I’m interested in seeing how they slant on the content, but Sesame Street is a good tool for getting a message to kids. In this case, I’m hoping the message is “Your parent screwed up, not you, and you’re going to be OK.”
Actually, with today’s society, I’m surprised that it’s not more like this:
“the child has two mothers and how to cope when one of them lands behind bars….”
c’mon can’t be insulting those “non-traditional” families out there….
I guess it makes sense, you have to be on crack to let kids watch that trash anyway and if you get busted with crack you go to jail.
Rev- Agree!
LL- Yeah, if they were honest…
Tirno- Good point!
DB- One hopes…
Matt- Hopefully NOT…
Duke- Point!
Sunny days, full of prisoners & gays.
We’ve got syphilis and HIVvvvvv
Can you tell me how to get,
How to get to Sesame Street?
I meant to say this as well- those topics, while “real life”, have no place in a show that was originally meant to teach ABCs & 123s.
Snigs- You’re ‘bad’… But they are TRUE! And agreed!
Oh please, those books will be ignored – just like the ones on manners, littering, and staying in school.
Have conflicting feelings about this. Some of the children impacted have no good adult figures in their lives.
Mrs. C- You may be right…
WSF- True, but “I” think it will all depend on how it’s presented…
You know it will most likely have a Commie Lib slant
