This is an objectively terrible take. Cinemax is fine, but Sesame Street is where the rubber meets the road?

When I was growing up in the '80s, some considered it scandalous that they had a Black character whom everyone got along with. This is just the latest boogeyman.

Show me the data that 3-year-olds are being turned trans by Sesame Street, and we have a starting point, instead of pointless, naked bigotry. The literal core of the show is teaching tolerance, acceptance and friendship. If you find this offensive, the problem is you, not CPB.
