Fox Attacks “Elmo” For “Liberal Bias,” Dumbing Down Blacks
NEW YORK-Sean Hannity recently discussed the evils of Sesame Street on his show, including their alleged anti-conservative bias and pandering to Black and Latino children. Color Lines reports:
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 Americaās culture wars, panelists on conservative Sean Hannityās Fox News talk show argued that the beloved kids show actually dumbs down black and Latino youth and promotes so-called āanti-conservative discriminationā because it encourages parents to use gender neutral pronouns.
Hannity: How is Elmo liberal?
Shapiro: I talked to one of the guys who was originally at Childrenās Television Workshop originally, and he said that the whole purpose of Sesame Street was to cater to black and Hispanic youths who donāt have reading literature in the houseā¦if you go on the Sesame Street website, it talked about āwhen youāre 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.
